This is my 16th year teaching Spanish at Ray-Pec (I was Miss Gill for the first few years). I graduated from RPHS in 1998. I have my BA in Spanish and MA in Education from Truman State University. I also have an Educational Specialist degree in Curriculum Leadership from William Woods University. I studied in Seville, Spain for a semester in college. I have also traveled several times with students, and I really enjoy watching them explore a foreign country for the first time. I love living and teaching in the same community where I grew up and I think Ray-Pec is a great place to be! I have an 8-year-old (in 2nd grade at Bridle Ridge) and a 5-and-a-half-year-old (in Kindergarten at BR), both boys. They keep my husband and me busy.
