4th-5th Grade Special Education
I grew up on a farm between Atwood and Colby, Kansas. I have lived in Lawrence since attending undergraduate school at KU, and loved it so much, I never left! I am now entering my 28th year teaching, my 12th year with LVS.
My undergraduate degree is in Elementary Education. I also hold a Master’s in Special Education, as well as a Master’s in Education Administration. I have two children- my daughter, Mariah, is grown up and lives in Overland Park. Michael is 11 and a 6th grader this year. We are crazy about our fur-baby family members; we have 2 dogs and 3 cats. I love being at LVS because of my wonderful families and students!! I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and doing anything KU related.
