About Me

I’m native to Lincoln and went through school as an Lincoln Public Schools Student. I attended Zeman Elementary, Pound Middle and Lincoln East High.

I enjoy running and exercising outside on one of Lincoln’s wonderful bike paths or in the air-conditioned (and during the winter heated) gym. I have been running since high school and have ran the Lincoln Half Marathon twice, last year finishing in a time of 1:57:08. Being out doors on a bike path, is calming experience and great way to relax despite the occasional side-ache.

I enjoy reading, novels, short stories and most importantly comic books. As well as watching movies, and playing video-games when I’m not studying, lesson planning or exercising.

Professional Experience

I am beginning my sixth year of teaching Special Education, I have worked primarily in the lower elementary school grades, (Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade). This year I will be working with First, Second and Third Grade.

For college I attended the University of Nebraska Lincoln where I was a dual major in Elementary Education and Special Education. During college I worked with YMCA at their Community Learning Center located at Elliott Elementary where I worked for three years. I also worked doing home therapy using an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) model, working closely with the family and the other therapists there.

I am currently taking classes again through University of Nebraska-Lincoln Special Education department, where I am working on getting my Master’s Degree with a focus on Behavior.
