I am a native of Morrill, Nebraska and after graduating high school I attending the University of Nebraska-Kearney.  I graduated in 2003 with my Bachelors of Science in Education.  After graduation, I worked as a para-educator at Horizon Middle School in Kearney for 3 1/2 years before I began teaching science at Kearney Catholic.  Family brought us out west again where I began teaching at SHS for three years before transferring to Bluffs Middle School to teach 8th grade science for two years.  I took some time off teaching to raise my first daughter and then had the opportunity to return to teaching at CHOICES where I worked for 4 years.  This fall I am excited to return to the middle school to teach 8th grade science for the Panther team.   I am really grateful for all of the amazing teachers who shaped me into the teacher I am today.
