I am so excited to be part of the St. Patrick team! I grew up in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area attending Blessed Sacrament Catholic School then  Columbus High School. I started off pursuing my dream of photography attending Hawkeye Community College and finishing with my degree in Professional Photography. During this time, I worked as a child care provider at Blessed Sacrament Kid Zone. Through this work with children I realized my passion for teaching and watching the amazing growth of them all. After graduation and my continued work at the day care center, I decided to go back to school for education . 

Upon completing my degree, I worked as a second grade teacher for three years at Kittrell Elementary in Waterloo. It was a wonderful experience and I loved getting to know all of the students and staff there. In June 2022 I married my best friend Connor and accepted my new position here at St. Patrick! I am so excited to start this wonderful new journey in my life and be a part of the St. Patrick School community.
