I have been employed with the Otterville School District for 23 years in the capacity of the Title One Teaching Assistant.  I grew up in a small town, Perry, close to Mark Twain Lake.  I graduated from Mark Twain in 1984, and went on to Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman University).   I moved to this area in 1989, and began working at the State of Missouri Probation and Parole Office in Sedalia.  Once I started having children, I gave up my full time job to be home with my kids.  Shortly after, I began substitute teaching at Otterville, and later accepted the position as the Title One Assistant.  I have two sons, Kaleb and Jake, both electrical linemen, and three grandchildren, Kale, Connor and Rori, which I love spending time with anytime I can steal them away.  I enjoy the outside, whether it's fishing on the boat or camping and riding side-by-sides. 

I became the Parents as Teachers parent educator in 2016 and thoroughly enjoy visiting with each family and their little ones.
