To say I am excited to join the Parker faculty is an understatement... It is a dream come true! This year marks my 18 year teaching, and my return to elementary.  I am originally from Overland Park, Kansas and attended Kansas State University where I graduated with a degree in elementary education.  I've spent the majority of my career teaching science at the middle school level, and I am so excited to work with 5th graders again. My husband and I have 2  boys that attend Parker, and it is such an honor and blessing to share my love of learning with the children in our community. My hobbies include reading, decorating, cooking, and hanging out with our 2 dogs.  My goal every year is to continue finding ways to help all students reach their potential.  I truly have the best job ever, and I am looking forward to a fantastic year together!
