What drew you to Bettendorf Schools?
It is a district with a high reputation for academics and community relationships. It also aligns with many of my own personal values.
Tell us a little about yourself outside of work (family, pets, hobbies).
I am married. We have a dog we rescued last year named Spud. My stepdaughter is starting middle school this year. I have a sister who is starting her junior year in high school. I absolutely love music, reading, and making crafts. I also love to do puzzles and have recently discovered that I really enjoy gardening!
What’s one fun fact most people don’t know about you?
I started off as a music education major and the only reason I didn't stuck with it was because I couldn't decide what I wanted to teach. So I went with elementary and some minors so i could "do it all".
What are you most excited about in your new role?
Teaching only 1 subject instead of all 4 core subjects!
