About
After returning to my hometown high school to work as a paraprofessional, I fell in love with Special Education. I returned to college while working full-time for our district, coaching cheer year-round, volunteering in children’s ministry, and raising two little boys as a single mother. I am dialysis enrolled through WIU and JWCC, and will complete a degree to teach both Special Education (K-12) and Elementary Education. Our students are our future, and I’m grateful to play a little part in their lives.
