Hello! Welcome to my online portfolio! Let me tell you a little about myself. I grew up in Bowbells, a small farming community in the Northwest corner of North Dakota. I attended the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND where I majored in Elementary and Special Education. After earning my degrees, I am now teaching in the West Fargo Public School District as an elementary special education teacher. I am always striving to become the best version of myself and firmly believe the power of compassion, creativity, and connection make a difference in this world, especially in the classroom.
I am passionate about my Catholic faith and always try to find God's hand in all that I do. My heart lies in rural living and teaching, but my adventurous spirit is taking me to urban places and new opportunities. Besides working with children, I have a passion for baking. I hope to have a bakery business someday. I also love traveling to new places and seeing different parts of the world. I have yet to fly overseas, but my dream is to see all of Italy, Ireland, and maybe Poland and Germany. I would love to one day teach overseas for a short period of my life.
