This is my 25^th year of teaching students with special needs. I have taught in Missouri and Illinois. I've been at Hazelwood West Middle School for the last 14 years.  

 

I teach math to 6th - 8th grade students in the Essential Skills program. I enjoy every day at work. We have a great staff in the Essential Skills Program. I aim to engage students in learning and mastering math topics and life skills that they can use daily.  

 

When I'm not teaching, I love spending time with my husband and two sons. We love to be outside with our two dogs. Our family stays busy with sports. Our sons play basketball and baseball. I enjoy playing sand volleyball with fellow teachers and working out with family. We love to spend time with our families in Missouri and Illinois.  

 

I encourage students to "be the reason someone smiles today!"
