I am a graduate of Missouri State University with my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Missouri Baptist University. I have been teaching for the last 15 years and this is my 3rd year teaching Prek at Stix ECC.

Outside of school, I can be found spending quality time with my son Miles (13), boyfriend Cory, and our zoo (2 dogs, 2 cats, and hamster) at our home in Washington. We love to watch Miles play football and basketball for Washington! In my "free time" I enjoy cooking/baking, crafting, and photography.
