This year marks my 8th year as the Saigling PACE Specialist and my 19th year in education. 

I graduated from Missouri State University in 2004 after completing my student teaching at Carlisle Elementary. My teaching career began in March of that year as a second-grade teacher at Andrews Elementary.  Later, I found a home as the First Grade Team Leader at Christie Elementary. My love of literacy opened the door to my next adventure as a Literacy Instructional Coach for grades 2-5. My passion for teaching gifted learners was realized early in my career. I began teaching PACE at Saigling in August 2016.
