I graduated from Augusta High School in 2002, then got an Associate’s Degree from Butler Community College, a Bachelor’s Degree from Kansas State University, and a Master’s Degree from Pittsburg State University.  

I started teaching at Augusta Middle School in 2018, and am teaching 6^th Grade Math.  

Before teaching, I tutored college athletes at Kansas State University and substitute taught in the Riley County District.  I started my first official teaching job at F.L. Schlagle High School in Kansas City, KS in 2008.  In 2012, we moved back to Augusta and I taught in Wichita for five years.  I was working on trying to get even closer to Augusta, so I got a position in Circle.  Then I finally landed here at Augusta Middle School, my old stompin’ grounds, in 2018.  

I am married to an awesome dude who is also a teacher, and we’ve got three beautiful children.

I love dancing, music, singing, bike rides, walks, cooking/baking, and hanging out with people.
