I am excited to be teaching at Resurrection Catholic School again this year! 

I have spent the last 20 years in different areas of education.  I taught 1st and 4th grades in the Olathe School District, was a Parent Educator with Parents as Teachers, taught homebound students, preschool, substituted and for the last 5 years I was a resource teacher at Good Shepherd Catholic School in Shawnee.  I have also been on the School Advisory Committee, room parent, track and volleyball coach, and many other jobs at the schools where my children attend.

I received a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Kansas, a Reading Specialist Endorsement from Washburn University, and a Master of Arts In Education with an emphasis in Special Education from University of St. Mary. I am currently working on an endorsement for English as a Second Language from the University of Notre Dame.   I attended Bishop Ward High School and Christ the King Elementary School.

I have been married to Kerry for 20 years and we have three children, Emma, 18, Mitchell, 17, and Clara, 13, who all attend Catholic schools.

As a resource teacher, I am support staff to students and teachers and families.  I am currently working with groups of K-3rd grade students on a variety of reading and math skills.  I work with the Title teachers to make sure all students are reaching their greatest potential.  I am a liasion with the Kansas City Kansas Public School to ensure that student receive the appropriate special education services and I work with the ESOL program in our school.   I also work with our Student Improvement Team to support teachers to meet the needs of all students in our school.
