About Me

I graduated from ISU with my B.S. in Biology & Psychology and my Secondary Education Teacher Certification. After graduation, I took a long-term sub position for 8th & 9th grade science at Osage Schools. I was able to come to Postville in 2008, where I taught in the high school for two years. There I taught Chemistry, Forensics, Environmental Science, Food Chemistry (co-taught), Botany, and Advanced Chemistry. In the fall of 2010, I made the move to the middle school, where I taught 6-8 science. For the fall of 2014, I moved back into the high school building to teach 7-8 science in the junior high!

I am very happy to have the opportunity to teach at Postville. It is a nice-sized district with great students and teachers. Plus, it isn't too far away from my hometown and my husband's parents. In 2010, I married my husband and we are lucky to have some awesome creatures: Ferguson, Crispin, Simpson, and Seymour! I am also lucky to have a niece and her twin brothers. Mr. Friederich directs the 6th grade and JH plays, which I volunteer as a tech director. He coaches HS speech and I am in my 3rd year as Assistant Speech Coach. Additionally, he is now the HS play director, and I volunteer as a co-director.

I think I have loved science most of my life, and I tried to take every class I could in high school and definitely in college. I hope to continue to improve our middle school science program and help students grow to love science too. Ultimately, I hope to guide students to becoming scientifically literate people that can use critical thinking to make decisions in their lives and to see that science really is a part of almost everything. I am excited about introducing students to a few new partnerships I have come into. Students will have the potential to collect real-time data and submit it to scientists that will actually use the data. How cool is that!?

I look forward to working with the students this year and I hope to work with many parents too! Please contact me if you would like to know how you can be a part of our classes!
