I am excited to teach 5th grade at Prairie View. I was born and raised in northwest Indiana and live in Rolling Prairie with my husband, two cats, and two Australian Cattle Dogs (ACD). I have taught first, third, and fourth grade, art (K-5), and was also the Digital Integration Specialist (tech guru). I received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from IU and Master's Degree in Curriculum & Instruction from Purdue.

In addition to being a teacher, I am a professional photographer, instructional designer, web designer, and creator of many other projects. When I'm not teaching or designing, I love to spend time flying with my husband, paddleboarding, cooking, and gardening.
