I graduated from Northwestern College with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.  After backpacking around the world for a year with my husband Bryan, I realized how much I love learning from other cultures and languages.  I earned my K-12 ELL teaching licensure from Hamline University last December, after many years of studying, raising two children (Fiona, 10 and Lyle, 6), and substitute teaching.

Last year I was lucky enough to student teach at Harding, and I quickly grew to love the students and staff.  I am thrilled to be co-teaching with Abby Mund in US History this year!  I love reading, biking, traveling, and studying other languages.  I’m ready for a great year of learning!
