2025 GOCSD Innovation Summit

I am the Community Outreach Specialist at the Laclede Co. C-5 School District. Within this role, I manage various responsibilities, including Communications Director, Parents As Teachers Coordinator, Federal Programs Assistant, and more. A traumatic childhood has left me with a passion for families and children that drives my why. I want all children to feel seen and heard, and all parents to have the tools to create happy, healthy, and loving homes. I am a married mom and bonus mom to 4 adult children with an active homestead that houses 3 dogs, 2 cats, 35 chickens, and 8 ducks. I love Netflix, french fries, and unsweetened iced tea. I believe that life is best lived with a good book, a whole lot of laughter, and a never-ending supply of Jesus.
