I have lived in the Springfield area nearly my whole life. This summer I worked to move here and I now live here in Holts Summit! I have three cats at home. Meercat, Bella, and Luna. I also have a puppy! He’s just over two years old and is an Australian Shepherd/Husky mix. His name is Xander and he is my wild child; but he definitely keeps me busy.  I’m sure I will tell a story or two this year about all of my pets :D. I’m an avid reader, I love video games, and live music. 

I am a native of Springfield, Missouri and am excited to learn more about the area as I live here full time! For college, I attended OTC and Westminster College for my teaching degree and graduated in December 2015. Thankfully, I was able to jump right into teaching and I have spent the last 6 (and a half) years in my previous district named Ash Grove. I have taught both 4th and 5th grade and thoroughly enjoyed both! I can’t wait for a great year getting to know you and your family!
