Mrs. Tech

I am a proud Iowa native. I grew up in eastern Iowa before moving to Council Bluffs in 2004. Most probably don’t know this about me, but I graduated from Lewis Central High School in 2006! I attended LC for my junior and senior years in high school, before that I was a student in the Pleasant Valley School District in Bettendorf, Iowa.

After graduating from Lewis Central I went on to college at Iowa State University. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and I also earned my Masters of Arts in Teaching degree in Secondary Science Education from Iowa State. Go Cyclones!

This is my 9th year teaching at Lewis Central Middle School. My first year here I taught 7th-grade science. The following year I was promoted (just kidding, it doesn’t really work like that) to 8th-grade and have been teaching there science ever since.

During my first three years at Lewis Central Middle School I coached a First Lego League (FLL) team. Our team, The Blazin’ Bots, competed at very high levels with other middle school students from both Iowa and Nebraska. During our second year, we earned an overall 2nd place in the state of Nebraska and advanced on to compete at the Invitational Open Championship at LEGOLAND in Carlsbad, California. I do not currently coach a Lego League team but I am looking forward to getting back into once my children are a little bit older.

My husband, Austin, also graduated from Lewis Central (check out our high school prom picture!!) and attended Iowa State University. He has a degree in mechanical engineering. We have two ridiculously awesome children, Harper and Ryker. My future Titans enjoy gymnastics, spending time outdoors and exploring the world around them. My students also hear me tell a lot of stories about our 2 cats, Kirby and Jasper, and our dog, Lucy. In room 303 I also have two turtle roommates, Cy and Herky. My family and I love spending our time at the Henry Doorly Zoo, the drive through Safari Park, and the Omaha Children’s Museum! If I’m not spending time with my family or teaching, I love to take some time to read a good book or play games.
