My husband, William, and I are originally from Clarinda, Iowa where our families both still reside. We welcomed our son Beckett into our family in June of this year and have been enjoying becoming parents. We also have two Mini Aussies, Nash (6) and Kota (4) that go almost everywhere with us!

I spend a lot of my summer breaks judging horse shows and static judging for 4H, FFA, and other youth shows. I also like to be outdoors any way possible whether I am kayaking, hiking, riding or driving horses, or just hanging out with my family.

I have co-owned my own business as an Supervised Agriculture Experience project for FFA since I was a Freshmen in high school.

What sets ACGC Schools apart is the vibrant culture and close-knit community we have cultivated. Being a small town school, ACGC provides big city opportunities to its students and while making meaningful connections with students and families. Our district promotes a supportive and inviting atmosphere where we can build relationships where everyone feels appreciated. Aside from the extracurricular activities, strong academic achievement is prioritized as well.
