I grew up in Versailles and attended school Kindergarten through 12th Grade here.  After my graduation in 2002, I earned an Associate of Arts Degree from State Fair Community College in Sedalia, MO.  In 2008, I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Central Missouri (UCM) in Warrensburg with a Bachelor of Science in Education (Art K-12).  I am certified to teach Elementary Classroom 1st-6th grades in addition to K-12 Art certification.

​

This will be my 10th year of teaching and my second year at Versailles Elementary!  Prior to coming to Versailles, I taught Elementary Art (grades K-6) in nearby Stover, MO for 7 years, in addition to teaching 5th grade at Eldon Upper Elementary for a year.  I am thrilled to return to life as a tiger and work one-on-one with kids, families, and fellow educators in my community.
