“There is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.” — Amanda Gorman

I am excited to teach 4th Grade at Valerius  for the 2024 – 2025 school year! It will be a year full of learning, growth, and adventures!

This will be my fifteenth year teaching. I grew up in Des Moines, graduated from Wartburg College, and later received my Masters Degree from Drake University.

I live in Urbandale with my husband and our two boys. I enjoy reading, gardening, coffee, and playing games with my family.
