I was born and raised in Watertown, SD. I am part of a family of 4. I have one older sister. My aunt is an art teacher at the High School in Watertown and I have always looked up to her. Growing up I have always thought of becoming a teacher after I had an amazing 4th Grade teacher who was there for me during some low times in my life. 

I see myself as a busy body as I like to be doing something at all times. I am a very outgoing person and enjoy meeting new people. With that, I am always up for a new challenge! Some of my hobbies include; spending time with family and friends, anything to do with crafting, and of course shopping! 

Going forward in my profession, I want to be the wearer of many hats for the kids that come through my door where I support them in anyway.
