"Hello! I am extremely excited to be a part of the Cossatot River family! I graduated from Southern Arkansas University with a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction in 2017 and have seven years of classroom experience. When it comes to education, I am passionate about helping students learn and perform at their fullest potential. I believe anyone can learn anything with the right tools. This will be my first year teaching special education. I'm looking forward to making an impact in the lives of my students and all that they will teach me along the way. I've been married to my husband, David, for 8 years and we have a six year old son. I enjoy watching him show cattle. As a family, we enjoy spending time outdoors and taking care of the livestock on our small farm."
