I grew up in the small town of Colman, SD. I graduated from Colman-Egan High School in 2008. Following graduation, I attended the University of South Dakota and played golf for the Coyotes. I completed my student teaching with Theresa Skinner at West Central High School. I graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Math Education with a coaching minor. I am now in my first year teaching high school math at West Central and pursuing a master's degree through the PDC program at USD.
In my free time I love to travel with family and friends. I enjoys being outdoors whenever possible, mostly to play golf or take a job. I love to watch sports, especially the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Twins, and Duke basketball.
