Kindergarten
I grew up in Wichita, KS. I attended Wichita South High School and graduated in 2000.
After high school I went to Emporia State University to earn my teaching degree. Go Hornets! I graduated in 2004 and have been teaching kindergarten ever since.
I earned my BSE in Elementary Education at Emporia State University.
After graduating I earned my ESOL endorsement through Kansas State University.
Over the years I have attended many trainings, symposiums, conferences and workshops.
I am trained in these highly effective teaching strategies: Orton Gillingham, Bal-A-Vis-X, Kagan cooperative learning techniques, and whole brain teaching strategies.
I started teaching at St. Marks and in the Renwick School District in August 2018.
I teach Kindergarten!
Prior to being at St. Marks, I taught at Cloud Elementary in Wichita, KS. I taught kindergarten there for fourteen years.
My husband Justin and I have two children, Claire and Landon.
Claire and Landon both attend St. Marks!
When I am not teaching, I am probably taking Claire to dance classes!
If I get some of my own time I love watching TV or movies, running, reading and hanging out with family or friends.
