 I am married to my husband Tollie and we have 2 boys, Noah (17) and Jake (12). We will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary in 2017!

My love for this profession was started and fostered by my mother who was a speech/language pathologist. She worked in both the schools and in residential facilitles. She brought us along whenever possible to expose us to the many ways she helped and supported people. When I turned 16, I began working at Bethphage Mission (now Mosaic) located in the small town where we went to school. I fell in love immediately and knew from that moment I had found my passion. After graduating from HIgh School, I continued to work at Bethphage's satillite facility in Lincoln as I started my college career.

I come from a family of educators: my mother was a speech/language pathologist, my stepmother was a Special Education Teacher and my sister is a Math teacher at East HS, right here in Lincoln!
