Thomas Jefferson Middle School

I did most of my undergraduate work at Mizzou, but my Bachelor's degree in Education is from Lincoln University.  I am certified Pre-K through 8th grade with areas of focus in Music Ed and Early Childhood.  I have had the opportunity to teach in a variety of settings in both Missouri and Iowa over the past 28 years. Being back in Jefferson City and at Thomas Jefferson for the last 16 years as a Language Arts teacher has been great. In our global society, communication of all sorts is the key to success, and I feel strongly that helping children learn to communicate effectively is a vital part of their education.
