I am a graduate of Pella High School (15’) and Central College (19’) where I majored in elementary education with an emphasis in special education. After graduating from Central, I began my teaching career training teachers in Tanzania, Africa. In 2020 I returned to Iowa to teach at Des Moines North High School where I taught special education, coached girls basketball and softball, and sponsored Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In 2024 I moved back to Pella. I am honored to serve in the community I grew up in and to teach the next generation of Pella students. The best is yet to come.
