Kindergarten 2

In December of 2013, I graduated from Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska, with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. After graduation, I served as an interim kindergarten teacher for a semester in Shenzhen, China. From 2014 to 2021, I taught first grade at Lutheran schools in Brighton, Colorado, and Las Vegas, Nevada.

My goal for each and every one of my students is that they would know that they are loved by the Lord. Each student that I have the pleasure of teaching holds a very special place in my heart. Over the course of a school year, our class becomes a famliy. My hope is that they would grow academically, emotionally, and most importantly spiritually.

I am originally from Leavenworth, Kansas. I attended St. Paul Lutheran School in Leavenworth from pre-school through eighth grade and learned at a young age that I wanted to be a Lutheran School teacher – just like my mom! She and my sister, Maggie, live in Leavenworth with our family’s dog, Mackley.

I love to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas Jayhawks! I enjoy drinking coffee and finding unique coffee shops.
