I started my teaching career at Hazelwood West Middle/High School in 2001.  I have been a special educator for the last 22 school years, all at West Middle! I started my career at West Middle as a co-teacher, but over the last 12 years, I have been teaching our Teen Connect and social skills classes. I work with all 3 grade levels.  I enjoy working with students and their families to help them become successful in both school and the community. 

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my 2 sons.  I enjoy walking, reading, and when we get the chance, traveling. 

I am happy to help in any way I can, so please feel free to contact me via email or phone.
