Getting to Know Your Teacher
This is my 22nd year at USD 379 as an Early Childhood Special Education teacher!! I graduated from Emporia State University with my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and K-State with my Masters in ECSE.
My husband and I have two daughters. Madisyn a Sophomore at CCCHS and Kelsey is married to our son-in-law Austin. We have two dogs at home named Loki and Bentley.
In my leisure time, I enjoy reading, walking and playing board games.
Paraeducators
Penny and Marissa have both worked with me for several years and are spectacular at building relationships with your child. They go above and beyond their job duties each day, so I am excited to have them in my classroom again this year.
