Five years after graduating high school, I attended NorthWest Arkansas Community College where I received an Associate of Science degree before transferring to the University of Arkansas. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics degree and a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree. During my MAT year, I interned at Holt Middle School, Woodland Junior High, and Fayetteville High School. I planned lessons, taught, and recorded grades for 6th grade algebra introduction, 9th grade Honors Geometry and Honors Algebra II, 11th grade Algebra II, and 10th/11th/12th grades Advanced Algebra with Trigonometry.

 

My husband, Trevor, and I have two boys, Kennison and Kurtis.  We enjoy 4-wheeling, dirt bikes, painting, and reading. My family is extremely important to me. 

I have truly enjoyed my time teaching at Farmington as it has allowed me to grow and learn as a person and as a teacher. My students are very important to me. I have high expectations of my students, just as I do of my own boys. I believe that everyone can do more than they think. It is just a matter of putting forth effort and time. I want my students to have faith in themselves as I have faith in them and their abilities. I look forward to another great year of teaching at Farmington :)

 

To provide students with the foundation for future mathematics requirements, which will enable them to succeed in their future academics and in life. I want my students to learn to think for themselves and to realize that, with effort and hard work, they can accomplish more than they believe. I want students to feel respected and comfortable to ask any question regarding each day's lesson. I am privileged to teach your student and look forward to having the opportunity to enrich your student's life.
