I have worked as a Para Educator for Camdenton School District for 12 years. I worked at Osage Beach Elementary for 7 years, and I have been at Oakridge Intermediate for 6 years. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas. I worked at Osage Beach Elementary from 2001-2007. I love my job as a Para Educator because, I have a strong desire to help children. I am married, and have one daughter who graduated from Camdenton in 2014, and she is now attending college. Here is a little known fact about me: I have family who live in Israel and own dance studios, also I have a cousin who is a profesional dancer who tours the world. In my spare time, I enjoy health and fitness, and spending time with my family.
