I was born and raised in Homer, NE, and am fortunate to teach in the school that provided me with the foundation of my education. I attended Wayne State College for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees, receiving a BS in English Education in the fall of 2011, and a MSE in Curriculum and Instructional Leadership as a Pk-12 Reading Specialist in May of 2018. My husband is a police officer, and together we raise our three sons in Homer, not even a block away from the school. In my free time, I love to watch my boys in the different activities they participate in, read, cook, and be outside.
