I look forward to guiding each of my students along their journeys to become lifelong learners.  I attended Clarke University, Dubuque, Iowa, and received a bachelor’s degree in elementary education with an endorsement in reading. In May 2010, I graduated with my master’s in instructional technology from Lewis University, Romeoville, Ill. I am always excited to incorporate new technology ideas and lessons in the classroom. In the spring of 2015, I received my gifted education endorsement.  This will help me to continue to best meet the needs of my diverse students.  I began teaching third grade at The Wheatlands in 2007, and I continually feel privileged to work with the students, staff, and families at The Wheatlands.
