About Me
Welcome! This is my third year at Athlos Leadership Academy and I am excited to be teaching third grade this year! We will be working hard on our foundational reading and math skills, working independently, and how to be helpful community members.
When I'm not at school, I enjoy going on walks with my dog Maddie, reading, and baking. Last September, we welcomed our son Benjamin and we are loving watching him grow! I graduated from Augustana University in Sioux Falls, SD and have worked in a variety of schools over the years. I love teaching and I can't wait to spend the year with you!

MCA Phone Policy
Per state requirements, students are unable to have access to their cell phones, personal devices, or wearable technology at any time during MCA or MTAS testing or during breaks from MCA or MTAS testing. In the event that a student has access to a cell phone, personal device, or wearable technology during testing, the student’s test is required to be invalidated, even if the student did not use the device. Wearable technology includes but is not limited to smart watches and fitness trackers.
On dates when your student is scheduled to take MCA or MTAS assessments, your student will check in their phone, device, and wearable technology with me on the morning of testing. I will collect the phone/device/wearable technology, put it in a labeled Ziploc bag and keep it in a locked cupboard until the end of testing for the day, at which time I will return the phone/device/wearable technology to your student.
