Wanting to be a teacher since I was young student in Manson, Iowa, I am now making a dream a reality. I graduated from Manson-Northwest Webster High in 2006. Following that I went to Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge and completed my A.A. in Secondary Education. After Iowa Central I transferred to Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, to study History, where I graduated with a B.A. in 2011. I was privileged to have student taught at St. Edmond, and now consider myself blessed to be able to teach here.
