I was born and raised a Stewartville Tiger and am SO excited to be back to teach our youngest learners! Early childhood is where it all begins; it is the groundwork for a lifetime of learning. I enjoy getting to know my students and their families and find those relationships to be a key piece of a child's success. 

I received my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from SMSU in 2014 and my master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University in 2019. This will be my 11th year teaching in early childhood. Before coming back to Stewartville, I taught for 7 years in Grand Meadow. 

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family at sporting events, playing games at home, or planning another vacation to the lake. We have three great kids who keep us very busy and make us ever so proud: 

Elliot (12), Noah (7), & Beth (4)
