Two things I'm passionate about: yoga and teaching. I was blessed to begin my career in the education field as a classroom teacher and reading interventionist in the Ozark R-VI school district. During my time teaching at the elementary level, I had the privilege to present Professional Development sessions related to reading instruction at the district and regional levels as well as further my own education completing my Master's degree and Reading Recovery training. Working with students to strengthen their reading and writing skills, boost their confidence, and empower their ability to problem solve in their learning journey was an absolute joy. After practicing yoga for twenty years, I decided to deepen my practice by going through yoga teacher training in the summer of 2023. What a wonderful experience! I loved my classes so much that I did not want the training to end and plan to continue to further my yoga education journey. Currently I am an instructor at KOM Hot Yoga in Branson, MO and Fenix Hot Yoga in Nixa, MO. Volunteering in my community has always been important to me. In 2019, I was honored to receive the Cheri Clark Bouquet of Enthusiasm Award for the work I have done with Junior League of Springfield. I enjoy serving in leadership positions and continue to be involved with Springfield organizations such as i-Pour Life, Child Advocacy Center, and Care-to-Learn. Now that I am splitting my time between Missouri and Florida I look forward to becoming more involved in our Punta Gorda community, too. My free time interests include a lot of outdoor activities: hiking, biking, boating, wake surfing, pickleball, and snow skiing. I also enjoy participating in activities that are educational and help keep me balanced: reading, traveling with my husband, and yoga. aljacks77@gmail.com
