My education includes four years at the University of Kansas where I graduated with a BGS majoring in Literature and Writing. From there I continued my education at Emporia State University where I completed coursework for licensure in secondary education. I am certified to teach 6-12 English/Language Arts and have attained "highly qualified" status within the state of Kansas.

When I'm not teaching, I still tend to stay busy. I love reading, so if you ever need a suggestion, come see me or check out my ever-growing classroom library. Some recent books I enjoyed include I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne, The Last Post by Renee Carlino, and The Storyteller by Dave Grohl. I also love listening to music, which, if you have been in my classroom, is quite apparent because I usually have some sort of music playing at all times. I also enjoy watching TV/movies. Some of my favorite shows include Schitt's Creek, New Girl, The Haunting of Hill House, The Pitt, and Grey's Anatomy. As for movies, I will give just about anything a try. Some of my faves that I repeatedly watch include The Family Stone, The Intern, and the Fear Street Trilogy. Some of my recent faves have been Voicemails for Isabelle, KPop Demon Hunters, Remarkably Bright Creatures, and My Mom Jayne.
