With 24 years of dedicated service, I have a proven track record of success in the classroom. My educational background includes a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Elementary Education from Truman State University, as well as a Gifted Teaching Certification from the University of Missouri - Columbia.
Recognized for my innovative approach to gifted education, I was honored with the Lindbergh School's Gifted Teacher of the Year award in 2018. My contributions included revamping Middle School gifted instruction and developing comprehensive new curriculum for grades 6, 7, and 8.
I am passionate about project-based learning and believe in its power to foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. I am excited to connect with other educators in the gifted field and explore new ideas and best practices.
