Summary

I tell people all the time (and it is true) that this is the best job I've ever had. It was more of a winding road to get here than what I expected, but I am grateful for the opportunity to get back into the world of education in a field that I am passionate about. I hope to continue this path by gaining my MSED in History.

Work History

High School Social Studies Teacher

Fair Play High School
01.2019 - Current

I have been teaching high school American History, American Government, world history and many other electives here at Fair Play High School since January of 2019. I love the small school environment and have really enjoyed my time here. I first started my teaching career teaching English, but this discipline fits me so much better. I hope to earn a MSED in History to improve my knowledge, which I hope, in turn will also enhance the education of my students.

High School English Teacher

Dadeville High School
08.2003 - 05.2005

After receiving my degree in English Education I got a position teaching English at Dadeville, MO. I taught there for 3 years and resigned to change subjects and get a Master's Degree in History. I realized that I enjoyed being in the classroom, but I did not wish to teach English any longer. Unfortunately due to some life and family events I was not able to get back into the classroom until 2019. Now I wish to finish the Master's degree that I began all those years ago.
