Grew up in Topeka, Kansas and went to college at Missouri State University where I played baseball and studied psychology. After a few years of coaching baseball, I joined Washburn University's social work program and also coached baseball there at the college. I have previously worked as an ESL Para at Lawrence High-School and completed my internships at KANZA Mental Health Agency and Holton Elementary in Holton, Kansas. 

This second year as a  School Counselor and I am so excited to work with students and families in the Pinckney community. I enjoy building relationships and making connections with staff, students, and the people of Lawrence. I look forward to serving the district, the school, and most importantly, the students of Pinckney throughout the year! Proud to be at Pinckney!!!
