I am very excited to again be teaching fourth 

grade at Deer Creek Elementary this year!

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary 

Education at Concordia University in St. Paul, 

Minnesota.  I have been teaching for nine years 

in various locations as my husband and I decided   

where we wanted to make our home.  We have 

settled in Edmond, and we are so glad we have.  

This is my fourth year in the Deer Creek School

district, and I will again be teaching math and 

science.

I have been married to Thomas for twelve years.

We have three wonderful children who keep us 

busy and entertained.  Mikaela is eight years old 

and is in third grade here at DCES.  Isaiah is five

and delighted to be starting kindergarten here 

this year.  Eliana was born this past June and 

keeps us entertained with her smiles and coos.  

We also have a cat named Gretchen and a 

kitten named Cheeto.  

I cannot wait to meet you all and have a super

fourth grade year!
