My experience coordinating state and national accreditation with educator preparation programs through the state has allowed me to gain significant insight to the quality assessments and assessment systems that are used to evaluate program quality. I am hardworking and passionate with strong organizational skills. I work to stay on top of trends in education to maintain modern, efficient systems meeting needs of diverse students.

I am a two time graduate of Southeast (Undergraduate/Graduate) and I have received two degrees from Mineral Area College (Associate of Art in Pre-Business Administration and Associate of Science in Medical Technology - Radiology).

I am currently the Chair of the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP) Event Committee and work with the Missouri State Chapter of HOSA as a adult leader to the state officer team.
