Welcome to my class website! I would like for you to know a little bit about myself. I was born and raised here in Joplin, Missouri, attended Joplin schools, and graduated from MSSU in 2003. My family includes my wonderful husband Everett, a beautiful daughter Alex, and a precious grandson named Phoenix. I have lived in Webb City for 18 years, and will probably live there 18 more! My hobbies are reading, journaling, hiking nature and mountain trails, and traveling whenever I have the chance. I love children and that is why I teach. Twenty years from now, I hope to live in the mountains of Colorado, near Estes Park. That is enough about me!
