Since then, I get to share my love for education with preservice teachers as an adjunct professor at the university level. Teaching Certificates include Elementary Education, Cross-Categorical Special Education, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Google Certified Level 1. My degrees include a Bachelors in Elementary Education/Special Education from Northwest Missouri State, a Masters in Teaching from Webster University, and a Specialist Degree in School Administration from Northwest Missouri State.
