This year marks my 17th year in education and 8th year here at St. Mary’s. I have taught first, second and fourth grade over the years. I started my education journey in the Des Moines area and have always taught in a Catholic school. I have loved each part of my journey, but my heart is truly with St. Mary’s and Catholic education!

My husband, Brian, and I have been married for 8 years. We have two sons, Judson and Luka. Judson is 6 years old, Luka is 4 years old. In the middle of September, we are excited to add a baby girl to complete our family! We are so happy to have had the chance to move back to our hometown and to raise our sons in such a wonderful community. We love to hang out with family and friends, travel, and watch the Iowa Hawkeyes, Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears!!!
