Welcome to my page! I’m thrilled to be part of the Ames VPA family, where I've enjoyed working for the past three years. With over a decade of experience in SLPS, I am deeply committed to our community and the success of our students. As an SLPS alum, I am particularly dedicated to giving back to the community that shaped me. I have a strong passion for working with young people, and I strive to create a positive and inspiring environment for all my students.

I am a published author passionate about reading, writing, and traveling. My academic journey includes a bachelor’s degree in Human Services, specializing in child and family welfare, and a master’s degree in psychology, with a focus on both general and educational psychology. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and adult daughter exploring new places.

I look forward to another fantastic year at Ames VPA!
