Brief Bio: I was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska. My hobbies include playing volleyball, running, reading, and water sports. I spent 6 summers working at camp. It was at camp that I decided I wanted to work in education. My passion is teaching kids how to speak and write effectively: our voice is the most powerful tool we have.
