I have a bachelors degree in Elementary Education and Physical Education from Ottawa University. After completing my bachelors, I started my masters degree at Kansas State University in curriculum and instruction with an ESL endorsement. I am licensed in K-6, P.E., and ESL. Since graduation I have taught kindergarten, first grade (with ESL students in my class) and second grade. I am passionate about helping elementary students build a strong foundation in reading, math, science, and social studies. I have worked with a wide range of students to grow and learn many levels through the school year. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family outdoors.
