I started teaching at Ridgeview in the fall of 2022. I graduated from Mid America Nazarene University in 2003 with a B.A. in Communications. I then got my M.A. in Elementary Education from University of Saint Mary in 2018.
I had an opportunity to teach English in Spain to children for nine months. It was very rewarding to see the impact I had and while creating a warm and inviting environment for all. I also had a chance to work as a paraeducator and loved it. Those experiences inspired me to pursue a classroom teaching career.
