About Me
I grew up in small-town Langdon, ND. I have always felt like teaching was my calling, bringing home old textbooks when my elementary teachers would want to throw them away. I have taught in the elementary field, covering all subjects. I have a passion for teaching, and I look forward to passing along that passion.
Why I’m At MaryThe University of Mary provides me the opportunity to work in a field where I have a passion. The University provides a team feel where everyone belongs. I fully believe in the mission of the University and love the student-first mindset!
