I began my studies at Johnson County Community College and transferred to Emporia State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Education in fall 2024. The 2025-26 school year is my first at Ridgeview, and I'm thrilled to be part of this community!

I went into education because I hope to build strong relationships with my students, encourage a lifelong love of learning, and create a positive, nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported.

I started teaching at Ridgeview in the fall of 2022. 

I graduated with my bachelors of science in Elementary education in 2015 from Emporia State University. I then received my Masters in Instructional Specialist with a Concentration in Elementary STEM from Emporia State University in 2023. I also have an ELL endorsement.

I chose education because I really wanted to make a difference every day. One of my favorite things about teaching is when that light bulb goes off and you can see the progress of each child! I am very excited about continuing my teaching career at Ridgeview!
