I earned my BS in Animal Science from Southwest Missouri State University (SMSU) which is now Missouri State University (MSU) in Springfield, MO.  I earned my Masters in Special Education from University of Missouri - St. Louis.

I love to read, sew, crochet, and fish.  

My husband and I have 3 amazing sons, of whom we are very proud. My oldest son got married in April 2022. My middle son will be getting married May 2023. My youngest son will graduate from High School in May 2023 as well.
