elementary first grade teacher

Abilene, Kansas

Hometown: Lindsborg, Kansas

Undergraduate degree: Business Administration with an emphasis in Computer Information Systems

Why I chose teaching: I enjoy working with children and loving seeing them grow and develop in the classroom with understanding. I love watching students gain their confidence in their reading and how proud they get.

Why I selected K-State’s MAT program: I was a para for my current school district, and they approached me with this opportunity.

Why I’m a unique teacher: I'm a parent with a special needs child, so I take it to heart to make sure all of my students are getting the help they deserve to help them be successful.

“I'm very thankful for this program that allowed me to work full time while getting my degree, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to financially get my teaching degree.”
