I have a Bachelor of Arts and a Master's degree in teaching. I received my BA from Drury College and my Masters from Grand Canyon University. This will be my 22nd year in education and my second year at Thomas Jefferson. Teaching is my passion! I believe teaching is a privilege and an honor. I am married and have two children. I enjoy coaching my daughters basketball team. I also enjoy attending my children's athletic events. I like to be outdoors and do anything outdoors, such as riding horses.  I am also a fitness enthusiast, who loves to workout and stay fit.
