I attended Missouri State University and graduated with a degree in elementary education and a minor in agriculture in 2009. In 2011 I attended Southwest Baptist University and graduated with a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Education.  I have been teaching first grade at Dogwood Elementary for six years. I have a husband, Wes, and four sons, Colten, Cail, Jackson and Tucker. As a family we love the outdoors…boating, hunting, fishing and sports. I spend a lot of time cheering on my boys while they play football and baseball. I enjoy teaching and look forward every year to meeting all my new friends as they walk in the building each August!
