Experience
After completing my student teaching at Orchard Public Schools, I was hired at Clearwater Public schools and spent six years there teaching. I have been part time 6th grade teacher, Title teacher, and 5th & 6th Combination Teacher. This is my third year at Elgin Public.
Biography
I am a 1998 graduate of Clearwater Public Schools and have lived in Clearwater all of my life. My husband Blaine and I have been married for seven years and we have a little boy, Justice, who is always on the go. It definitely changed our lives but for the good. I truly enjoyed getting to spend much of my summer playing with Justice. Blaine is a welder for SMEAL in Neligh. My Mom and Dad have a farm in Clearwater, which I sometimes help. My sister Pam and her husband Rob live in Norfolk and have three beautiful girls: Hayden, Jacey, & Mallory. Curt, my brother, and his wife Amy farm with our parents in Clearwater. They have three handsome boys: Clay, Colton, and Keaton and a cute girl, Kaylee. My youngest sister, Melissa is married to Jason Heithold and is a veterinarian in Wayne; they just have 2 cats. I enjoy all kinds of sports and outdoor activities. During the summer I enjoy playing softball, fishing, and camping. I also am a hunter and am looking to improve on my 3 point buck this fall.
Teaching Motto
My Philosophy
Respect all students and colleagues like I would like to be Respected
Standards are important but the students come first and foremost
Teaching is not an 8-4 job but a passion
Humor in a classroom can be a very effective teaching tool
Instruction must fit each student, they are all unique in their own special way
Encourage all students to always do their best
Learning is a life-long process for people at all ages
Every student can learn no matter the circumstances
