About MeEducation is my passion! I come from a family of teachers. My mother and father are retired educators, and my sister teaches biomedical courses at the CTE Academy in Sioux Falls. I grew up in Chester, SD. Currently, I live in Sioux Falls. In the spring of 2015 I graduated from the University of Sioux Falls with a Master's Degree in Education.
I am excited to be teaching business and computer courses at West Central High School. Before coming to West Central, I taught business and economics courses at Brandon Valley High School. Some of my hobbies include hiking, yoga, reading, learning, traveling, and spending time with my friends and family. In my free time, I can often be found enjoying the great outdoors or reading a good book. The pictures on this page were taken during some of my outdoor adventures.

Teaching Philosophy |
Education should be student-centered. Differentiation of instruction is crucial in order to reach all students. Learning and assessment need to be authentic which means real-world relevant issues are central to the curriculum.
