About Me
From a young age I dreamed of doing two things when I grew up; teaching and becoming a marine biologist. For years I switched back and forth, but I knew I would have to choose one. I decided to teach because although I love the ocean, I know working with children and helping them learn is the most satisfying and rewarding career out there!
I was raised in the city of Lake Forest, California, which is about 20 minutes inland from the popular town of Laguna Beach. My senior year of high school I moved to Missouri with my mom, and boy was that an experience! I have since learned to love the crazy weather and the gorgeous scenery Missouri has to offer.
I graduated from Missouri State University in 2012. While going to school I met my wonderful husband, Jordan, at a volleyball game. This will be my fifth year teaching I am really excited to be at Willard. I did part of my student teaching here and I LOVED it!
On my free time I like to read, swim, and hike. I have A LOT of pets that keep me pretty busy. I have three dogs named Atticus, Scout, and Stella. I have an adorable cat named Bellerina Thumbelina (but we just call her Belle). I also have a Garfieldesque cat named Cornelius.
