meet your teacher

My Summer Highlights!

My whole family camping in Cadillac over the 4th. Joel and I at the Reds Stadium in Cincinnati and a helicopter ride over Nashville during our road trip in June.

EXPERIENCE

This fall will be my third year of teaching and what a crazy first two years it has been! Before Marshall, I taught first grade at Burton Elementary in Grand Rapids for two years. I attended Cornerstone University and graduated in 2018 with a major in Elementary Education and minors in reading and language arts.

family

My husband, Joel, and I got married in June of 2018. We met at Cornerstone and are both teachers! He will also be starting a new job this fall at Allendale Middle School teaching math. I have one younger sister, Lynden, and she is a nurse at St. Mary’s hospital. My husband has two older brothers, Matt and Stephen, who are both married. I also have 2 nieces and a nephew who I absolutely adore.

sports

I LOVE sports. My husband and I are Michigan State fans and we love being active. In high school I played soccer, basketball, and cross country and I played soccer all four years at Cornerstone as well. Currently, my favorite sports/activities to play are disc golf, soccer (I love rec leagues!), and yoga.

The picture above is from when I did goat yoga!

other interests

I love to read, hammock, and be outside. I have been to 43 states and my goal is to visit all 50. My husband and I are also trying to visit all of the MLB stadiums and so far we have seen 6 together. I love Marvel movies and orange is my favorite color!
