Hello! I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to a new year at Freedom Elementary! I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child throughout the coming year, which surely promises to bring with it lots of learning and fun and new experiences! As your student's teacher, it is my goal to provide them with a safe, caring, and nurturing learning environment while helping them become confident life-long learners.

I would like to take this time to introduce myself. I grew up in Farmington, MO with my mom, older sister, and twin brother. I graduated from Farmington High School in 2007, and continued my education while participating on the Women's basketball team at Mineral Area College. I then transferred to Southeast Missouri State University where I graduated with my Bachelors in Elementary Education in 2011. I then attended William Woods University where I obtained my Masters in Elementary Administration. 

This will be my second year here at Freedom Elementary, but my 8th year in education. I have previously taught 5th grade, 4th grade, and 1st grade. I am also excited to be the Freshman girls basketball coach here in Waynesville, GO TIGERS!

Outside of school, I like to spend time with my husband, kids, family, and friends. I also enjoy listening to music, playing sports, cooking, being outdoors, and binge watching a good show. 

Feel free to contact me anytime, and I look forward to a great year with you and your child!
