I earned my bachelor’s degree in liberal studies and my master’s in education from Portland State University in Portland, Oregon.

Growing up in Hartland, Wisconsin, my parents raised me with Christian values, and I have been a Christian for as long as I can remember.

Since moving back to Wisconsin, I have become a lot more involved in the church. I attend Life Church in Germantown with my husband and our three daughters.

I appreciate the sense of community at OCS, and I love to include hands- on experiences in my lessons. I do not have a favorite subject to teach because they are are all so exciting!

When I am not working, I love to spend time outdoors with my children. I enjoy photography, hiking, day trips and water parks.
