I hail from Beloit, WI and I am grateful to be teaching 2nd Grade at St Mary and I am truly blessed to see St Mary students and staff every day. I graduated Cum Laude, with a Bachelor of Science in Education from UW-Green Bay in 2015 and I graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a Bachelor of Arts History Degree in 2011.

From a young age, I grew up competing in sports and I have competed at the highest levels in football and wrestling. I played football collegiately and played three years of semi-pro. In wrestling I placed 6th at State in High School and qualified for the NCWA National Tournament in College. My passion for competing in sports led me into coaching and teaching.

In December 2006 I enlisted in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, where I am privileged to have spent the last 17 years in military service with deployments to Iraq (2009-10) and Afghanistan (2012-13). Overseas I witnessed the power of faith and prayer and I have seen how God answers prayers in war zones.

In 2012 God blessed me with my daughter Alivia and he blessed me again in 2015 with my son Odin. I am looking forward to our adventures, hunting, fishing and camping together.
