Sixth Grade
I grew up in the Hiawatha, Kansas area and graduated from high school in Hiawatha. I graduated from Washburn with a Bachelors in Education, and got my Masters Degree in Special Education from Emporia State University.
I began teaching at Silver Lake in 2004. I taught Special Education for 5 years, and began teaching Sixth Grade in 2010. I currently teach Math, Reading, and Science.
I have two girls, Brianna and Katie. Brianna graduated from Hiawatha High School and Kansas University. She lives in Jackson, Maine, with her husband, Jacob, and is a Clinical Pharmacist for the Veterans Administration. Katie lives in Topeka and is a Nursing student at Washburn University. She will graduate in May.
I have one dog, Maggie.
My hobbies include doing anything outside. I enjoy hiking, kayaking, and exploring new places. I love to travel and have been fortunate to have traveled to many interesting places.
