I was born and raised in the small town of Weston, MO. I attended Northwest Missouri State University for my bachelor's and master's degree. I also have a master's degree from Pittsburg State University. I currently reside in Shawnee, KS with my husband, Mike, and our three sons, Connor, Kellan, and Keegan. We also have 2 cats, Ginger and Cookie. I am an avid Royals and Chiefs fan and love activities that are sports related.
