I am 100% Cyclone having graduated from Iowa State University with a PK-3 teaching license with PK-K Early Child Special Education and a minor in Child and Family Services. Since then, I have completed a Masters degree in Educational Leadership from Iowa State University.
My husband Mark and I live in Huxley with our three children; Kyler, Jaron, and Elin. When we are not jumping from their extra curricular activities, we enjoy spending time at our lake house in Clear Lake and cheering on the Iowa State Cyclones.
I joined the education profession hoping to make a difference. Through collaboration, unqiue perspectives come to the table creating innovative practices that increase student learning and achievement while driving district goals and encouraging community involvement. It is my hope that excellence will shine and leaders will grow. As Marianne Williamson once said, "We are all meant to shine. Brilliance is not just in some of us; it's in everyone".
"So live in today taking advantage of daily opportunities that come your way and live each day with integrity." ~Dan Woodin, my late father and former Ames School Board President
