This is my first year as a Riverhawk but I have taught in Lawrence Public Schools at Schwegler Elementary for 11 years.  Previously I taught in K-2 classrooms before taking a break and living overseas for 5 years to raise my babies.  I returned to Schwegler as Title teacher which is my current role. 

I grew up in Lawrence and attended Lawrence Public Schools until my graduation from Free State in 2000.  My husband and I moved back to Lawrence to raise our family of 3 kids, 1 labrador, and 1 crested gecko.  I am passionate about teaching reading and work hard to stay current on the latest research for addressing the needs of struggling readers.  I am excited for my move to Woodlawn and look forward to working with students across all the grade levels.
