The 2025-2026 school year will mark my 24th year of teaching at NCHS, and 30th year as a district employee. This year I teach U.S. History and Honors American History (dual credit). I am also the Color Guard Coach, Assistant Marching Band Director, and Co-Sponsor of The Blue Banner with Mrs. Kollbaum.
I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in History, Political Science, and Education from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2002. Through coursework at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, I was able to add English to my teaching certification. I completed my Master of Arts in History at Southern Illinois University Carbondale in August 2011.
I achieved the rank of Jedi Master in 2010. However, the details about that are classified.
