I have been the vocal music director at West Central since 2012. I grew up in Wausau, Wisconsin, which is about 5 hours from Maynard. My high school was VERY large compared to West Central... I graduated with almost 400 other people! After high school, I attended Wartburg College in Waverly. I graduated in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in music education and concentration in piano. In 2016, I completed my Master's degree and Kodaly Certification through Silver Lake College in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Iowa has been my home since I graduated from Wartburg. I began my teaching career in Mason City, where I taught elementary music for 4 years.
My husband Scott is a West Central graduate. He is a licensed funeral director with Jamison-Schmitz Funeral Homes. We live just outside of Oelwein with our three children: Holly (born January 2015), Abrielle (born September 2017), and Levi (born March 2021). We also have a blue heeler (Josie), our horses (Louise, Pepto, Sam, Sally, and Copper), and a goat (Billie). I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, playing the piano, and horseback riding with my husband.

I grew up in Decorah, Iowa. In 2008 I graduated from Waldorf College. I have a Bachelors of Science in Music Education. My main instrument was the tuba. I currently live in Strawberry Point with my wife (Sara), two children (Ariella and Jamin), and dog (Teddy). A favorite quote of mine is from Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States:
"Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty... I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well."
I am very excited and glad to be part of the Blue Devil Community!
