Biographical Information
I am a graduate from Highland and was here when the middle school was being built (I even helped with the wiring!). I had always wanted to be a Hawkeye, so after finishing my degree at Kirkwood, I followed my dream. I graduated and here I am! I have a very interesting family, which students, you will probably hear funny stories about, especially featuring my nephew (he is so adorable!!). Currently I am on my twelfth year at Highland and am enrolled in the Teacher Leadership Institute through the Iowa State Education Association and the National Education Association.. I graduated in December 2017 with my favorite cohort, the Golden Cohort!! Loving being a Drake Bulldog, but you know us Hawkeyes, we are always moving :)) I am excited about starting the year off with you students and parents! Here's to a great year!! And GO HAWKS!!
