Preschool

Hello! I am originally from Nelson, a small town in South Central Nebraska. I received my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in May 2008. I taught 4th grade at Conestoga Elementary School in Murray, NE for 2 years before moving to the Miller area. I received my Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education from Concordia University-Seward in May 2015. I have been teaching preschool at Litchfield since August of 2012. I love working with the "littles" and seeing the huge growth they make throughout the year.

I live on a farm outside of Miller with my husband Jace and two children; Odette and Emmett. We have two cats, one dog, a pony, a number of goats and sheep, and a few cows. I love spending time with my family and watching my kids learn and grow. Reading is my favorite pastime, I will read (or listen) to a book every chance I get. I also enjoy music: singing, playing, and listening to music always makes me feel good.
