I  am a first grade teacher at Smithville Horizon Elementary School.  I came to the the district in 2004.  I also spent 4 years teaching 2nd and 3rd grades in the Kansas City, Kansas School District.  I grew up in the  Kansas City area and graduated from Park  Hill  High School.  I enjoy being outdoors and spending time watching sports.  I am very grateful to be a part of a district where the community is so supportive and involved.
