After attending Webb City schools from Kindergarten through 12^th grade, I graduated with honors from Webb City High School in Webb City, MO. I then attended the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville where I began my bachelors degree. I also attended Missouri Southern State University in Joplin, MO and North Arkansas College in Harrison, AR. I completed my coursework and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Arkansas Tech University in Russellville with a bachelors degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on Early Childhood Education. After that, I attended Arkansas State Univeristy where I earned my Master’s Degree in Reading in order to be certified as a Dyslexia and Reading Specialist. 

I’m very excited to be teaching 4^th grade again this year! 

My husband and I were married in 2004 and have 4 very active children together. We enjoy hiking, LEGOS, reading, and playing board games as a family.
