After graduating from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville in 2007 with a degree in Special Education, I decided to stay home to raise my children.  I have 4 amazing kiddos who keep my husband and I very busy.  I was blessed to finally begin my teaching career in 2018 and this will be my fourth year teaching 5th grade Special Education at Beckemeyer.  I am very excited for another great year!
