I have 3 amazing children-my oldest son Chase is 20 , my middle son Nolan is 17, and my daughter Avery is 14. I love to spend time with them watching their sports and squeezing in time whenever I can. I enjoy biking on the Katy Trail and traveling with my fantastic boyfriend, Rob. He has 2 daughters and we all have a blast together! We have traveled together to some incredible places in the US. I am a huge St.Louis Cardinals Baseball fan! I will be seeing my first Cardinal's spring training game in Jupiter, FL-GO CARDS!

I am from St. Louis and graduated from Lindenwood University in 2004. I am certified in Elementary Education, Special Education and Early Childhood Special Education. I worked in my current school district as a Parent Educator for 4 years. I currently teach Early Childhood Special Education at Barfield Early Childhood Center, in the Wentzville School District. This is my 8th year in the district. I work with a great team of educators. I have  2 instructional assistants in my classroom and many therapists to help my early learners grow! I have 4 students in my self-contained am class and 4 students in my pm class. Our days are anything but boring-it's the best!

I am hoping to explore the benefits of technology and how to incorporate some great tools to use with my students. Working with preschoolers, we use limited technology but I am excited to learn about the abundant technology resources this class will allow me to experience.

My iphone is a part of me and I look for ways to take a break from it often! I love my apps, calendar and having everything in one spot! I have teens, so I have to keep up with them!

I am lucky to have a smartboard in my classroom and an Ipad that I use with my students. I have been using the Remind app for parents-it works so well for an extra form of communication.  We use google drive district wide. It works well to share information with each other in our building and to collaborate with teachers around our district.
