I grew up in Batesville Arkansas. I moved to Concordia, Missouri where I attended Saint Paul Lutheran High School. My husband John and I met in high school and have been married since 2018. In my free time I enjoy shopping, photography and spending time at the lake with my family.  

I attended Concordia University-Wisconsin for two years. I then transferred to Concordia Nebraska where I completed my degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in early childhood. After graduation in 2018, I began teaching the Preschool 4's at Zion. I am a member of NAEYC and Lutheran Educator Association.

I am involved in a number of professional and community activities. I am the cheerleading coach at Zion. I have participated in mission trips that have taken me to Ecuador and Mexico, interacting with young children. I am involved with Zion's Youth ministries attending youth events and helping where needed. I am also involved with the Young Adult Ministry at Zion. I attend service events, social events and Bible Studies. I have been a member of the choir since joining Zion.

I consider myself to be a tough but loving and caring teacher. I want to make sure that the children in my class are having fun but that they are also learning and growing, in both body and mind. I hope that my students remember that I loved and cared for them and wanted what was best for them.
