This is my third year at New York Elementary School. Before teaching here, I lived, worked, and went to school in Lawrence. I followed the West, Free State, KU route. I spent my high school years as a group leader for the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence and in college I worked as a teachers' aide at Hilltop Child Development Center. I have my bachelors in Elementary Education and an ESL certification. I currently help with garden club and student leaders.
