About Me

This is my sixteenth year in GRACE and tenth year at Notre Dame of De Pere teaching second grade. Previously, I spent six years at St. Thomas More in Green Bay teaching preschool and kindergarten. I am originally from Manitowoc, but live in Appleton currently. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay majoring in elementary education and psychology. I recently graduated in May of 2023 with my Masters of Education degree with a Math Interventionist certificate from UW-Stout. My favorite aspect of teaching is when children have that "a-ha!" moment and are excited about learning! I strive to be the best that I can be and expect the same from my students. I feel very blessed to be a part of the Notre Dame community! "Do Justice, Love Goodness, Walk Humbly" 🙂
