I am a dedicated educator and administrator with a diverse educational background. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Human Sciences in Education from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Furthering my expertise, I obtained two master's degrees: one in Instructional Technology with an emphasis on school librarianship from the University of Nebraska at Kearney, and another in Principalship K-8 from Wayne State College. I also hold an Educational Specialist (EdS) degree from Wayne State College.
As the Teaching and Learning Director, I am passionate about supporting all educators but primarily focused on leaders across the service unit to be the best version of themselves. Additionally, I focus on continuous improvement and strategic planning in school districts that I get to partner with. I am honored to cheer-lead the Teaching and Learning team in ESU16. My statewide leadership roles include involvement with High-quality Instructional Materials and Professional Learning core Nebraska state team, co-chairing the ESU Leadership Cadre, and participating in various committees across the state.
I am actively involved in professional organizations, holding memberships in NCSA, NASB, and Schoolmasters. In my personal time, I enjoy family activities, watching my children excel in sports and personal growth, embarking on family trips and adventures, hosting my own cooking show, and preparing meals for those in need.
