Hi! Welcome to my homepage! 

 

This is my seventh year being an Amundsen Viking! 

 

Previously, I taught at Rickover Naval Academy for five years, where I taught a variety of social studies courses and Exploring Computer Science. 

 

I graduated from Western Illinois University with cum laude honors in 2013. I majored in history education and Spanish. Sadly, I am not able to speak Spanish to the level that I used to. One of my goals for the year is to practice more and speak confidently.  I earned my computer science endorsement in 2023. In 2026, I graduated from Western Governors University with a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  

 

In 2022, I partnered with 12 other CS teachers around the United States to redesign the Exploring Computer Science curriculum through a grant with the National Science Foundation. We worked on updating the curriculum until 2025, when V10 was released. I am still working on this project as I help to update supplemental units like robotics.  The goal of this curriculum is to introduce students to the world of computer science in a meaningful way to encourage students to use CS and their problem-solving skills in their daily lives and their community. 

 

Outside of education, I love sports, baking, and going to live events. I enjoy doing crafty things and make it a goal to complete one craft a month.  Currently, I am exploring with watercolors and 3D printing.
