I grew up in Affton. I went to Reavis School, Mesnier School, Mackenzie Middle School, and Affton High School. I graduated in 1985.
I went to Southeast Missouri State University for my Undergraduate Degree, and I have a Master's Degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
I began working at Gotsch Intermediate School in 1989 as a teacher assistant. I became a fourth grade teacher in 1991. I taught fourth grade for 25 years and made the switch to fifth grade in 2016. I absolutely love working with the fifth grade teachers, students, and their parents! I will be teaching my students Math, Writing, and Science while my partner, Mrs. Molsbee, will be teaching my students Reading and Social Studies.
I have one brother and one sister. My brother, Chris, is married to Julie, and they have two children. My sister, Stephanie, is married to Jeremy, and they have two children. My parents are no longer living.
I have a wonderful boyfriend, Michael. We have been together for eight years! We have the cutest dog ever - Sadie. She is a six year old chocolate Labrador Retriever. Michael and I are actively involved with the Boy Scouts of America. We are both Certified Angling Instructors. I was named 2015 Certified Angling Instructor of the Year! We love to go to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for rest and relaxation. I have also traveled to Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico. It is absolutely beautiful there, and I hope to go back again one day.
I am looking forward to a great school year and learning lots about each of you!
