My Background:

I am a proud Panther, graduating from the University of Northern Iowa with a bachelors degree in Psychology and a Masters in Education in School Counseling. I have been a school counselor since 2012, previously working at Cedar Valley Catholic Schools and Dr. Walter Cunningham School for Excellence. Prior to this (since 2001), I worked as a counselor at Quakerdale and Job Corps. and have volunteered and partnered with numerous community groups.

My prior work experiences shared some common themes; everyday was a different experience, I was surrounded by people consistently and had an opportunity to empower students. These jobs have also kept me very busy, but I wouldn’t trade a minute of it! I feel extremely excited to be able to work now with the students and families at Lincoln Elementary.

My Family:

My husband, Travis and I have two daughters, Hanna, a junior at West High and Haley, an 8th grader at Hoover. We have two dogs Champ, our 9 year old Papillon and Chief, our 3 year old Boston Terrier. We love to spend time outdoors and cheering for our favorite football teams.

I love meeting new people so please feel free to contact me!
