High School English Teacher

I am married to Robert who is a software developer and team manager. I have three children. Grace is 21 and is a senior at Missouri State University.

How long have you been a teacher/worked in education?
This is my 22nd year teaching.

What makes you passionate about education?
I love connecting with the students and having a profession, although challenging, is so impactful to so many lives. It's truly humbling when you stop and reflect on the good you can do by serving others.

What is your must-have classroom item?
Lots and lots of colored pens (my students know!)

If you had to choose a different grade/subject to teach, what would it be?
I would teach art. Those were my favorite classes in high school.

What is something about you that might surprise people?
Hmm...I might want to keep those a surprise, ha.

What is one item on your bucket list?
l'd like to take my family on a white water rafting trip through the Grand Canyon. I have been thinking about that one for a while.

Olivia, we’re thrilled to have you as a Wildcat!
