Educational Background: I graduated from Crete High School.  I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and received a bachelors of science degree in the area of 7-12 Mild/Moderate Special Education. I began my teaching career at Southeast High School in Lincoln. In the fall of 2000, I began teaching at Norris. I am a High School Special Education Teacher currently co-teaching in English Classes, Titan Chorus, Global Perspectives and American History 9. I received my masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Doane University.

Hometown: I grew up on a farm near Hallam, Nebraska and attended Crete Schools. After living in Lincoln for a few years, I missed farm living and built a house in the country near my parents. I love being able to live so close to my family. I have one son who is a senior this year.
