A little background: You are probably wondering who I am. I was born and raised in the Ste. Genevieve/Bloomsdale area; and continue to live here with my husband, Derek, our 7 month old son, Grady, and our two dogs.

​

I graduated from Valle Catholic in 2010 where I received a quality and faith-based education. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education (Birth-Third Grade), and am also licensed to teach Early Childhood Special Education (Birth-Third Grade). 

​

I have recently started working towards my Master's Degree. Currently, I am in my 7th year of teaching at Ste. Genevieve R-Il School District. There, I am an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher for ages 3-5. Though I will miss my Dragon Family, I am excited for this new journey in my teaching career!

​

What you'll get: Teaching preschool is my favorite! I believe Early Childhood Education is an important prerequisite in preparation for Kindergarten. Preschool is also a time for socializing and having FUN. 

​

Our littles are designed to explore their environment and let their imagination blossom. My job is to help be the facilitator of their learning. This is why play-based learning is so important. In the classroom we will focus on whole child development through the promotion of positive social skills, pre- academics, personal responsibility, fine/gross motor, and much, much more! 

​

As our center point, we will grow a positive relationship with God and learn about the love He has for each and every one of us. Again, I am so very thankful and blessed to be part of St. Agnes. I cannot wait to see all my new friends!
