Welcome to my website! I am one of the ELA teachers for the Waynesville Sixth Grade Center. In the past, I have worked as a paraprofessional and a high school English teacher in other districts. I went to school in Richland, Missouri during the elementary, middle school, and high school days. I have a degree from Southwest Baptist University and pursued a career in teaching through ABCTE. My husband is a youth pastor at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Richland, Missouri. We have been serving youth there for four years and are glad to call Richland home. My goal is to enrich each student's life through reading, writing, and putting into practice 21st Century skills. I am looking forward to a challenging year filled with growth and fun!
