I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, and my interests include reading, football, and food. I completed my undergraduate degree in Mass Communication with a minor in French at American University in Washington, D.C. I also earned a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Northwestern State University in Louisiana. With over 15 years of teaching experience, I’ve had the opportunity to instruct in various settings, including High School ELA, French, PreK/Kindergarten, and K-12 specials, across Louisiana, Missouri, and Washington, D.C.
