I graduated from the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND with degrees in Theology and Catholic Studies in 2017. Then I spent a year as a postulant with a religious community in New Ulm, MN called the Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus. I discerned out of the Handmaids in 2018 and began teaching at Sacred Heart, my home parish and alma mater, that fall. I also work with the faith formation programs in the parish, including Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.

I aim to help my students foster a deeper knowledge and love of Jesus so that they can build a personal relationship with Him and become a committed disciple. I encourage them to explore the questions they have about the faith and to integrate the faith into their daily lives through prayer and reception of the Sacraments.

My husband Ryan and I were married at Sacred Heart in 2021. We bought our first house in 2023 and have enjoyed making it our home.
