I began working at Ridgeview in the fall of 2024. I attended Kansas City Kansas Community College where I obtained my associate degree, then went to Emporia State University where I graduated with my degree in education. I went back to Emporia State University shortly thereafter to get my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I also received my ESOL endorsement at Kansas State University.

My journey in education has been to build the strongest relationships with students and families to support each student in their educational growth. I love seeing students achieve goals after they work so hard and apply their efforts to learn new things. 

I started teaching at Ridgeview in the spring of 2025. I attended Johnson County Community College, where I received my associate's degree, then I graduated from Emporia State University with  my bachelor's degree in elementary education. 

I went into education because I always knew I wanted to do something to help others and teaching is just that! I want to help students find their confidence to try new things, even if it might challenge them.
