For 2025-2026, I will travel the state to serve as the 2025 Iowa Teacher of the Year. I'm excited to represent Sioux Central and agricultural education.

My focus is on experiential and inquiry learning in agricultural sciences. Students will not receive daily grades for busy work, but instead focus on building knowledge and skills to demonstrate through projects. All students can find success in my classroom and I work to provide enrichment opportunities for students who excel.

My husband and I also farm; we have three daughters in college and high school. We love supporting their FFA, cross country, track, music, and community events. We raise corn, soybeans, forage crops, hogs, and cattle (and we have horses for fun).
