Awards and Accolades
I live in Rogers with my husband and our two girls. In my spare time, I like to hang out with my family. We love to watch movies, play board games, and go outside. When we are not at work or home, we are at the dance studio watching our girls dance! I love working with and being around children. They bring me so much joy!

I have always had a passion for teaching children. I just love watching them learn and grow! I am from a small town but was excited to move to the twin cities. I live in Golden Valley with my husband, Kyle, our beautiful daughter, Annabelle, and our 3 fur babies! I love to read, bake, and go on walks.
