I graduated from the University of Missouri--Columbia.  I began my teaching career in 1994. I I have taught in Mexico, Missouri; St. Joseph, and in North Kansas City. I earned my Master's degree from the University of Missouri--Kansas City.

 I came to the Smithville School District in 2011, and I love being a Warrior!  

When I'm not busy taxiing my kids around to their activities, I enjoy reading and watching MU sporting events.
