Bio:
I am a Belle Plaine native, I moved back shortly after I started teaching ART here in 2001. I have added Gifted Education, Computer Science, STEAM, Robotics, and a few other things over the years. I have a BA from Upper Iowa University with a double major in Elementary Education and Art. Go Peacocks! I have a MA in elementary education with an emphasis in gifted education and technology integration from Morningside College.
I am married with 6 children, who are all adults and on their own now. I have 11 grandchildren!! My parents and siblings live in Belle Plaine, too. I enjoy cooking & baking (I also have a culinary degree!) I like to spend my free time doing creative activities, reading, watching old movies and experiencing live music.
