About Me

Hey there! I grew up in Grand Island, NE and moved to Omaha to pursue my education. My siblings and baby niece live in Lincoln so I packed up my bags and moved to be closer to them! I was inspired by my English teacher to become a teacher myself. I admired her ability to establish relationships with every student, I really felt that this is how she made a difference in our lives. Her ability to connect with me made me feel like I belonged, especially as a first generation student. She inspired me to share my love of learning with others! I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where every student can feel comfortable enough to ask questions, participate in class, and develop a sense of belonging. I look forward to talking to all of you soon!

Professional Experience

I attended The University of Nebraska at Omaha where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.
