Third and Fourth Grades

Hi!  I moved to Ames in August 2017 to teach 3rd and 4th grade at ACS.  I grew up in southeast IA in the country near a small town called Wayland which is between Washington and Mt. Pleasant.  I attended Northwestern College in Orange City, IA, and earned my elementary education degree along with my reading and coaching endorsements. 

I began my teaching career at a christian school in Greenville, SC.  Then I took a few years off from teaching.  When I returned to teaching, I taught at Melcher Dallas Elementary School.  I am enjoying teaching at a christian school again and having the freedom to pray openly with the children.  I count it a blessing to be able to incorporate God into all subject areas.  I greatly appreciate the love, support, and encouragement I have experienced from other teachers, administrators, and families here at ACS.  It is a great place!  Come check it out for yourselves! :)
