I began teaching in the spring of 2019 and am currently teaching 7^th grade science. I also help coach golf and girls’ basketball. 

Before teaching, I was a certified educational sign language interpreter for Butler County Special Education for ten years. This afforded me time in classrooms ranging from Pre-k – 12^th grade accross the county.  

I have two sons, Cole and Chadd.  Cole attends Coffeyville Community College, and Chadd is a senior at Augusta High. My Husand, Josh Ybarra, is a social studies teacher at Augusta High School and coaches football at Friends University. I also have a pomeranian named Apollo.

When not at school, I enjoy golfing, reading, working out, and spending time with my husand, Josh, and two sons, Cole and Chadd.
