• Living our Values!  I am focusing on the values of being compassionate and joyful! It brings me so much joy seeing my students’ smiling faces and leading with kindness. I look forward to another year at Bromwell!   
• Bio:  I was born and raised in the small town of Odebolt in northwest Iowa. I received my bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising & Design from Iowa State University and Masters in Special Education from the University of Northern Colorado. I worked in fashion for nine years before deciding on a career change into education. I taught English to students in Florence, Italy and online to students in Beijing, China as well as at Colorado I Have a Dream Foundation and Project Worthmore in Denver. I worked as a Special Education Paraprofessional at Bromwell for three years and am excited to be entering my third year as the Special Education teacher! 
• Hobbies: I love to travel! Traveling is a major obsession of mine! I also love to explore in the mountains and go hiking. I enjoy spending time with my family/friends, working out, cooking with my husband, and cuddling with our three cats, Olive, Isabella, and Romeo.
