Class Description
I graduated with my bachelor’s degree from Drake University. I then went on to get my master’s degree from Viterbo University. I have been working in the Des Moines Public Schools for 23 years. Most of my career was spent teaching fourth-grade. This will be my fifth year working as an instructional coach in the district where I work mostly with the upper grade levels. I spend most of my free time with my husband and son. My son, Jacob, attends the University of Colorado Boulder. Go Buffalos! In my free time, I love enjoying the outdoors. I love biking, paddle boarding, yoga, and spending time with friends and family soaking up the sunshine!
Class Description
I’m the K-1 Instructional Coach. I’ve been in the Des Moines district since I started teaching in 2004 and I’ve been coaching at Cattell since 2017. I graduated from Simpson College (Go Storm!) and have a Master’s degree from Drake University. My experience is in the lower elementary grades. I love to see the progress children make over the course of the year!
I have two daughters, Evelyn and Addie. We love to travel and see family, find new playgrounds, make snacks and go on bike rides. Our recent adventures include camping in Michigan, swimming in Georgia, and ziplining in Florida.
My job at Cattell is to help teachers reflect on their instruction, plan engaging and purposeful learning opportunities, and dig into data to make informed decisions. I love to see all our youngest learners eager to start their educational careers!
This is my 19th year in education. I attended the University of Northern Iowa for my bachelor’s degree and Viterbo University for my master’s degree in education.
My passion for education guides my everyday life in the classroom. I care about building relationships with my students and believe that is the foundation for learning to take place. I have high expectations but will provide the support each and every child needs to be successful. Second graders have so much enthusiasm that I love what I do each and every day.
