In the spring of 2013 I graduated from ROCORI High School. From there I went on to pursue a bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Minnesota State University Moorhead. In December of 2017 I graduated with honors and began working as a substitute teacher for local school districts.  Shortly after, I was offered a position working as the first-call substitute teacher for the Eden Valley-Watkins school district for the remainder of the school year. In the summer of 2018, Eden Valley- Watkins then offered me my very first full-time teaching position as a school readiness teacher. After one full year of teaching, I decided to go back to school and work towards a masters degree from Grand Canyon University. In August of 2020, I completed my schooling and officially earned a masters degree in Early Childhood Education.  I then continued on with higher education in order to receive my pre-primary teaching license from Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall which was completed in the fall of 2023. 

When I am not at school I can be found spending time with my family and friends. I have a wonderful husband named Brad and an adorable son named Rowan who was born in May of 2025. I also can be found doing some kind of craft project or watching movies. I also really enjoy traveling to new places.  It is a goal of mine to make it to all 50 states at some point throughout my life. So far I am just over half way there :)
