Hello 1st Grade Families!

Welcome to an exciting new school year! I am looking forward to my third year at Madison Elementary and working with your child to accomplish many great things! Our year will be filled with lots of learning and fun experiences! I love teaching, working with, and inspiring students to become life-long learners.

I am a Des Moines native and a proud graduate from Roosevelt High School. I received a chemistry degree from UNI and my teaching degree from William Penn University. I love all subjects, but math and science are my favorite! I enjoy being outdoors and hanging out with family & friends.

Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns you may have. I am looking forward to a fantastic year!

I earned my Elementary Education degree from Drake University and my Master’s in Mental Health counseling from Drake University.
I’ve lived in Des Moines my entire life. Teaching is my passion; it’s what I love doing more than anything else.
