My own education history
My educational experience started in a one high school district from elementary to high school in Kansas City, Kansas. I attended Kansas State University and attained a bachelor's degree in Human Ecology with a certification in Family Consumer Sciences. I returned to K-State for a master's degree in Family Studies and Human Services with a concentration in Positive Youth Development. Finally, I just completed a principal's preparation program at Texas State University. Throughout this time, I have worked at three different schools in two different districts.
