I have been providing school-based therapy since 2015 to some of Findley’s most amazing students and families. Prior to that I graduated from Drake University with my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, going for walks or bike rides, reading, cooking, and indulging in all things Fall and pumpkin spice.
I started as a school nurse in 2014 at Walnut Street schools in Des Moines and in 2018 I transferred to Findley. I went to Southwestern Community College and in 2008 received my associates degree in nursing. I am currently taking classes to graduate with my bachelors degree in August of 2020. I also work on a medical surgical floor at Methodist Hospital where we specialize in kidney transplants. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters. We love to spend time outdoors, playing sports, and hanging out with our 3 dogs. On the weekends you will find me out at the soccer fields cheering my daughters on!
