I came to Ames in 1993 to attend Iowa State University and have lived here ever since. I earned a degree in Landscape Architecture and married Nate in 1997. We have three daughters, Teresa, Kathleen, and Cecilia, all of whom have attended St. Cecilia’s. I became the preschool associate here when my youngest daughter started kindergarten in 2011. I really enjoy working with preschool age kids, especially helping them with art projects. Outside of school, I like hiking, taekwondo, and various kinds of art. We also have two American Brittanies
