This begins my 23rd year of teaching. I graduated from Lincoln University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I then completed my Master's in Elementary Curriculum and Instruction and was certified in Administration at William Woods University. I have taught both 2nd and 3rd grade over the course of my teaching career, and this year I will serve as the instructional coach at Lawson. I love teaching and believe there is no better place to live and teach than Jefferson City, Missouri. My husband and I both grew up in Jefferson City, attended public schools here, and now both enjoy teaching for Jefferson City Public Schools. We have two sons, Blake and Grant.
