Teaching Career

I’ve been teaching for Lewis Central Schools since graduating college in 2010. I taught Elementary Music at Titan Hill Intermediate School for 6 years as a half-time teacher. During those 6 years I also substitute taught in several metro-area school districts: Lewis Central Schools, Millard Public Schools, Bellevue Public Schools, and Fremont Public Schools.

In 2016 I took the position of Vocal Music Director at Lewis Central Middle School. I now have the pleasure of teaching the 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Choirs, 6th Grade General Music, 7th Grade History of Rock and Roll, and 8th Grade Drama Club. I also coach the 7th and 8th Grade Show Choir, Titan Force, after school.

My Family

Last summer I became engaged to my fiance, Travis Chandler. We are currently planning a wedding and will be married in Mineola, IA on June 29, 2019!

I’m lovingly known as the Fairy Godmother to twin boys, Grayson and Wyatt Turczak. Both will be ring bearers in my wedding. I’m also a Godmother to another cute boy named Tyren Brezina who will assist his dad in Usher duties.

Travis and I have 3 furbabies - a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mixed dog named Titus, a gray and white striped tabby cat named Maestro, and a calico cat named Arya.

My mom, sister, and I have always been very close with one another. Most recently we took a family vacation to Lake Michigan where we all went sailing for the first time. I am the oldest of 2 daughters, though most people think my younger sister, Hilary, and I could be twins!
