I graduated from Black Hills State University with a composite degree in Business Education and a degree in Office Management. After graduation, I taught in Newcastle, Wyoming, on a one-year teaching contract. When that job was finished, I became an office manager for the Wyoming WIC Department. My husband is originally from the Armstrong area and he wanted to move back to this region so we moved to Armstrong in 1998. I was a substitute teacher at Armstrong-Ringsted for a year and then took a part-time position as a Success Center Instructor at Iowa Lakes Community College. I decided to go back to full-time teaching when an At-Risk/Technology position opened up at the Middle School in Ringsted. My heart has always been in teaching at the high school so when the business position opened up at Sentral, I applied for it and was very fortunate to get it.

I am currently the technology teacher for Sentral Elementary and North Sentral Kossuth Middle School and teach half-days at Armstrong-Ringsted High School.

My husband, Kurt, and I have four daughters -- Andie, Alyssa, Alex, and Amelia.
