I am in my sixth year with Lincoln Public Schools. I have previously served at Calvert Elementary, Eastridge Elementary, Lincoln North Star, Culler and Dawes Middle Schools, and various Nonpublic schools. Before coming to LPS, I attended the University of South Dakota (Go Yotes!) and graduated in May of 2016.
Outside of school, you'll find me exploring the great outdoors or involved in the community. Indoors, I like to try out new recipes, make crafts, read, sing karaoke, and dance around to one of spotify's many offerings. I especially enjoy connecting with others and there's nothing better than listening to people talk about the things they are passionate about. LIFE HACK: Having a warm cup of tea in hand makes conversations feel more relaxing :) !
My #1 priority as a School Psychologist is to advocate for, and support all students/families/staff.
If you are interested in learning about ways to better support your son/daughter('s) social, emotional, academic functioning or overall well-being, OR would just like information/resources on any topic or area that interests you, please don't hesitate to contact me by phone Lefler 436-1215 ext. 74232 OR via email: ddornbu@lps.org.
