What is your position at Northwest?
“I teach ninth-grade World History and eleventh-grade American History. I am an assistant wrestling coach and assistant middle school football coach.”

Have you taught before?
“This is my first teaching job, but I did my student teaching at Lincoln Southeast High School last fall. I taught Psychology and American History.”

What brought you to Northwest?
“I graduated from UNK, and I love the Tri-City area, so Grand Island was a great fit. I knew that I wanted to be at a smaller school district that felt more like a family. Northwest is everything that I was looking for in a school.”

Is there anything you want your students to know about you?
“Always feel free to talk to me about anything. Odds are, I’ve been in your position before and can help you out!”

Are you involved in anything outside of school?
“I am not involved in anything besides what I coach. However, I like to play disc golf, cornhole and hacky sack.”

What is an interesting fact about you?
“I can make 1-minute oatmeal in 55 seconds. Also, I have a four-year-old cat named Crystal.”
