2020-21 marks my 23rd year in the teaching profession.  Originally from Savannah, MO, I attended Truman State University.  I previously taught in Macon, MO, until arriving at Smithville High School in the fall of 2003.  In 2005, I received the Northland Chamber of Commerce Christa MacAuliffe Pioneer in Education Award.  Educating students in mathematics is my passion.

I enjoy movies, TV shows, and live theater.  I am avid fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, Missouri Tigers, Truman State Bulldogs, and Smithville Warriors!

I teach Math Analysis and AP Calculus.  I also serve as head coach of the Scholar Bowl Team.  I will be a 12th grade Warrior Time teacher and I am WARRIOR STRONG!
