Welcome to fifth grade! 

I am beyond excited to begin my second year of teaching 5th grade at Norris! I graduated from Morningside University located in Sioux City, Iowa in 2023. I graduated with degrees in both elementary education and special education. As the picture shows above, I was on the softball team at Morningside. I am originally from Omaha, and I attended Millard Public Schools growing up. I loved growing up attending Millard Public Schools, so I enjoy teaching in the district I grew up in! In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exercising, coaching softball, and reading. 

I am thrilled to begin my second year teaching at Norris Elementary. I cannot wait to learn, grow, work hard, and have fun this upcoming school year with you all!
