I started working here at Ridgeview in the fall of 2021.

I attended Pittsburg State. I earned a double Major in Spanish and Early Childhood Unified. I also attended Emporia State where I earned a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction.

I went into education because I’ve always loved spending time with children. Helping kids discover the world around them and fostering their curiosity is my biggest passion!

I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Special Education from Kansas State University (but, go Jayhawks), and a masters degree in Autism Spectrum Disorders from Grand Canyon University.

Special education and early intervention are two of my biggest passions in life, and I love advocating for students and helping them learn to communicate, build meaningful relationships, and reach their full potential.

I started working at Ridgeview in August 2019. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and Theater Arts from the University of Iowa. I received my master's degree from the University of St. Mary in Curriculum and Instruction, and my ELL certification from Kansas State University.  

I am passionate about teaching my students the social-emotional and academic learning skills they need to be successful throughout their school career. It's a joy to see them become independent learners and problem solvers.
