About Me

I am available to meet with students and parents most days and times. Every Tuesday morning I have a meeting from 8:30-11:30 and every Friday morning I have a meeting from 8:30-10:30. I also have daily lunch duty from 11:40-12:40. If a student needs to see me and I am unavailable, they can fill out a google form via my Google Classroom. 

I was raised in Lincoln and attended Hill Elementary, Scott Middle School, and Southwest High School. My husband is also a teacher in Lincoln Public Schools. We have a precious daughter who was born in the fall of 2014. My family and I enjoy spending time with just the three of us as well as our family and friends. We also enjoy watching Nebraska football, being outdoors, and traveling. In the summers and nights during the school year I teach graduate classes for Doane College. I really enjoy this!

My favorite part of being a teacher was building relationships with students. Now that I am a counselor, I can do this all the time-- and I LOVE IT! I feel so blessed to have a "job" that I enjoy going to every day! I am super passionate about helping students to make sure their middle school experience is the best it can be!
