About Me:

I am originally from Madison, WI. I graduated from the University of Kansas with my bachelors degree in Elementary Education. At KU, I also competed on the cross country and track team, which was such an amazing experience! I began my teaching journey student teaching in a first grade classroom. After graduating, I taught fourth grade in Kansas City for two years. This past year, I was living in New York City where I taught sixth grade. I am so excited to continue my teaching adventure here at Sand Creek Elementary!
