I'm so happy to have come back to teaching at SMOS! My favorite thing about our school is the community! I'm a graduate of Fontbonne University, with a B.S in Special Education and Elementary Education. I live nearby in TGS with my husband (Tim), son (Luke) and 2 Labradoodles (Bernie & Honey). We also have 2 adult daughters- Mallory, who lives in Austin TX and Allie, who lives in St. Louis. I'm passionate about keeping up with the latest evidence based interventions and utilizing the Science of Reading curriculum. I strive to meet all my students where they're at in their learning journey!
