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 a 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 and reading and work hard to stay current on the latest research to address struggling readers' needs.  I am excited about my move to Woodlawn and look forward to working with students across all grade levels.
