This is my second year at Westphalia Elementary and I am very grateful to work at such an AMAZING school!

After I gradutated from K-State, I was a substitute teacher for K-High School for the Manhattan-Ogden and Rock Creek (Westmoreland/Saint George KS) school districts. Then I started my first teaching job at a school in Wichita where I taught 3^rd grade, I loved it! 

My husband, Keaton, and I recently got married on October 5^th in California where we hiked to Taft Point in Yosemite National Park! We had an amazing and thrilling time, it was absolutely beautiful! Together, we have 4 cats (Greta, Ruby, Luka, and Onyx) and 2 BIG dogs (Kilo and Warden). We absolutely love our fur babies! 😺🐕‍🦺 Below is a photo of us from our wedding vacation at the Grand Canyon!

I like to stay active when I’m not teaching. I love mowing the lawn, I find it really pleasing to make it look nice and the smell of fresh cut grass is delightful! On the weekends you can find me taking Warden and Kilo on hikes or sitting down to enjoy a good Netflix series. I enjoy kayaking, bass fishing, and staying active!
