I began my teaching career in 2012, inspired by my passion for coaching basketball and golf. During the off-seasons, I realized how much I missed the process of helping young people grow and learn, which led me to pursue a career in education. I chose math because it provides a powerful platform for students to think critically and develop problem-solving skills. My goal is for students to become lifelong learners and acquire the problem-solving abilities that will benefit them in their careers and beyond, long after they leave the classroom.
When I'm not teaching, you'll find me hanging out with my husband and family. My husband and I are always up for an adventure—whether it's traveling to new places, hitting the golf course, or exploring different spots. At home, I'm lucky to spend lots of time with my kids and grandkids. Sundays are our family day—lunch, followed by some epic game time in the afternoon! Oh, and we're huge fans of the Chiefs and Kansas Jayhawks. Our schedules? Well, they pretty much revolve around game time!
