This is my 23rd year of teaching in the Jefferson City School District. I taught 4th grade for fifteen years in this district. This is my eighth year teaching 6th grade at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. I have a Master’s Degree in Literacy from University of Missouri - Columbia, and my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Lincoln University. I spent my summer gardening, reading, and traveling. I am excited about seeing the kids and getting back to school!!
