I grew up in Bellevue, Nebraska with my mom, dad, and two brothers: Cole and Travis. My parents still live in Bellevue, but I now live in a house with my brothers, who are still in college! I also live with my cat: Gwenny! I decided to become a teacher shortly after beginning my first semester of college at UNL. One of my good friends was studying Elementary Education, and it just looked so... fun! Ever since then, I have loved (almost) every minute I've spent learning how to be the best teacher I can be.
