I am a Des Moines native who later went on to live in Minnesota and Texas before returning home. I attended Hanawalt Elementary, Merrill Middle School, and then Roosevelt High School while I was growing up. I enrolled in St. Olaf College in Minnesota for my social work degree and the University of St. Thomas for my teaching degree. I started teaching in 2003 and later joined DMPS in 2012. I have 5 boys,  a cat and a dog. I love to garden, read, and watch Star Wars, Marvel, and DC movies.

I taught in the Urbandale Community School District for six years teaching 1st and 3rd grade.  In 2014, I joined the Morris staff.   I have one daughter, Emily.  I enjoy traveling and visiting warm tropical climates and watching basketball-Go Bulldogs!  I love to garden, plant flowers, and can all of my garden produce during the summer months.  I was recently named Iowa Teacher of the Year at Living History Farms.
