I am a 1993 graduate of Fayette High School.  I attended William Jewell College in Liberty, MO and received my Bachelor's of Arts degree in Communications in 1997.  After working in various positions utilizing my Communications degree, I decided that I wanted to teach.  I started with the Fayette School District as a parent educator with Parents as Teachers.  In 2007, I joined the Special Services department at Fayette High School as a paraprofessional.  After completing additional classes at Central Methodist University and several state exams, I am now a certified teacher in the areas of English, Speech and Theater, Middle School Math and Special Education.
