I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Middle School Math and Language Arts Education from the University of Missouri-Columbia. I have lived in various places including Kansas City but I have lived in Columbia the longest and consider it home. This is my first year of teaching and I could not be more excited! I will be working towards my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction through the University of Missouri as a Fellow. When I am not teaching or writing, I enjoy spending time with my family and watching sports (especially when the Tigers are playing). I look forward to starting my teaching career at Bridger Middle School and helping students grow as writers. Go Buffaloes!
