  • K-12 Exceptional Student Education

  • Mathematics (Grades 5 - 9)

  • Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum (Grades 5 - 9)

  • General Science (Grades 5 - 9)

Professionally, this is my 24th year teaching and my 7th year at McKeel.  I have taught 6th grade math, 7th grade math, Pre-algebra, Algebra, and Exceptional students.  I have also been a Math Interventionist and Math Coach.  This year, I will continue working as an ESE Math Inclusion Teacher in addition to teaching Dual Enrollment College Algebra. 

My husband, Chuck Smith, is the Athletic Director at MAT.  We have two children who have both attended McKeel since Kindergarten.  Our daughter, Skyelar, is a MAT 2025 graduate and our son Steele, is a 7th grader at MAT.

I am looking forward to a fabulous year!
