I have lived most of my life in Nebraska with the exception of a few times when I served on an Ongoing Ambassadors For Christ (OAFC) Travel and Couple Teams as well as from 2017-2019 when my husband and I moved to Missouri.

 

We have a very friendly black lab, Rosco who loves our daily walks of 4-5 miles. My husband and I also have three beautiful grown daughters living back in Lincoln, along with our grandson, Harrison. We love spending time with our girls and their families! ​

 

I have a Lutheran Teaching Degree from Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska and have taught children from preschool to eighth grade, as well as serving as principal for 9 years at a Lutheran school in Lincoln, NE. While living in Missouri I taught first grade at 2 public schools.

 

Christian education is such a blessing and I am no stranger to it, since I also attended Lutheran schools until I reached 9th grade. I love seeing children grow and becoming those life long learners who will eventually lead us not only today in their classes, but in the near future. ​

 

My favorite color is red, and reminds me of not only the Huskers, but of Jesus who gave his blood and life for me on the cross, that I might live. If I had to choose a favorite 'sweet treat' it would be dark chocolate and the dark chocolate covered almonds with sea salt I have found to be the most addicting.

 

I look forward to getting to know you and your children and also watching them grow in their academics, as well as their love of their Savior Jesus.

Favorite Bible Verse: "The Lord your God is in your midst,
    a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
    he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing." (Zephaniah 3:17)
