Hello everyone! I attended and graduated from the University of Iowa and graduated in 2022. Go Hawks! I recently moved to the Des Moines area and I am so excited to be teaching 2nd grade. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my boyfriend, being outside, or curling up with a good book. I am most looking forward to meeting my students and building relationships with both them and their families. I have a huge love for learning new things and I’m looking forward to sharing that with my students.
I attended Simpson College for my undergrad in Athletic Training and Exercise Science with a minor in coaching. I graduated Drake University with my Masters in Education. I have coached high school, middle school, and club volleyball and middle school softball. In my free time I love to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy the outdoors such as biking and playing volleyball as well as traveling. One of the reasons I wanted to become a teacher was because I love being in a learning environment where I can continue to learn and grow as a person as well as be there for the kids who are our future. This job allows me to build positive relationships with students not only in my classroom but with others throughout their years in the building and beyond. I want to make a difference in student’s lives and give them the skills and knowledge needed to be successful not only in school but all aspects of their lives.
I graduated from Iowa State University with my Bachelors in Elementary Education. I continued my education at Drake University where I got my Masters in Effective Teaching and Cultural Proficiency! Teaching and working with kids are my passion. In our classroom, we strive to build a community of care so we can achieve our academic goals. One of my favorite parts of teaching is seeing how our classroom climate and culture evolves as well as our academic growth!
Aside from teaching, I am a foodie! I love trying new restaurants and the foods they have to offer. I love it so much it landed me a job working part time at a restaurant. Along with food, I love to move my body with yoga or spending time outdoors. I am looking forward to another school year of learning and growing with your child!
