I gr
aduated with my degree in English and Secondary Education from Southwestern
College in Winfield, Kansas.One of the most exciting things I did while in college was spend a semester studying literature at Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
My first job was teaching 7th grade language arts at Mulvane Middle School. I was also the year book sponsor and assistant girls' volleyball coach. I spent a year teaching there.
I left Mulvane when a job opened up at Winfield High School, the school I graduated from. I spent four years teaching there and working as the head cheer coach. I taught 9th, 10t
h, and 12th grade English. One of my favorite classes there was co-taught with a history teacher; it was world history and literature combined.I came to Marshall last year. I love living in Wichita and teaching at Marshall. I had a great group of students last year, and I can't wait to get to know my new group this year. One of our big projects last year was a research paper over Africa that we did along with Ms. Ott and Mr. Dunn's classes. This paper led to working with Invisible Children on The Rescue event in Wichita. Then, this summer, Mr. Dunn and I traveled to Washington D.C. where we joined around 2,000 other people to lobby our government to pass a bill to disarm the LRA and rebuild Northern Uganda. We will be talking more about all this in class this year!
I am very close to my family. I have three younger sisters, Amanda, Leslee, and Patricia.
I am the proud auntie of two of the cutest boys in the world. On January 5 of this year, my sister Amanda had a baby boy, James.
Sixteen days later, on January 21, my sister Leslee had a boy as well, Daegan. Mos
t of my summer has been spent spoiling and playing with these two.I also have three dogs that keep me company.
