I started teaching at Jefferson Intermediate in 2014. I have had the privilege of teaching 5th grade science, math and language arts, 4th grade social studies and language arts, and I have been teaching 6th grade language arts since the 2024 school year. I have loved getting to experience all three grades at Jefferson!
I am married to Dave. We have been blessed with four children, all graduates of Pella High. Spending time with them and their families is a highlight for us. We are thankful that they all live within an hours drive.
Since I was a little girl, my dream was to be a classroom teacher. I am thankful that everyday I get to have that dream fulfilled. I love the children I get to teach, and the people I get to work with are the best! Having taught in other school districts I can say confidently that PCSD is the best!
