I was born and raised in the Appleton/Darboy area, attending all ACES schools. I then went to Marquette University and graduated from there with a double major in Communication Studies and Elementary Education in 2004. This is my fifth year teaching fifth grade at Holy Spirit School. My husband, Kyle, is also an educator and we live in Kaukauna. We have a 2 year-old daughter named Anna Gloria who keeps us very busy! We are also thrilled to be expecting our second child in April! In our free time, we like to travel, attempt to play golf, and spend time with family and friends.
