University of Northern Iowa

• BA Elementary Education

I started at St. Patrick School working before and after school at Circle of Care when I was a student at UNI. I loved being around the school and the students that were here. When I graduated in the Spring of 2022 I knew I wanted to teach here.

Everyone has been very helpful and kind to me since I have started teaching here and I am excited to be a part of this family. I love that I am able to have fun with the content I am teaching and get the students involved and interested in the subjects that I love.

I grew up in Cedar Falls and moved to the Des Moines area when I was 8. I graduated from Johnston High School in 2016. I attend the University of Northern Iowa where I was the captain of the Ultimate Frisbee club team. I decided to return to the club as a coach this year. In my free time I like to cook and get outside to relax. My favorite subjects to teach are math and science.
