About Me

I hold a master's degree in educational psychology with a focus on giftedness, creativity, and talent development from the University of Connecticut, as well as an Ed.D. in educational policy, planning, and leadership with an emphasis on gifted administration from William & Mary. 

I’m a proud classroom educator with ten years of experience teaching 1st grade, 4th grade, and gifted education. In addition to my work with students, I’m passionate about supporting fellow educators. I lead webinars for the North Dakota Association for Gifted Children and have presented at both state and national conferences to share practical strategies for high-ability learners. 

This is the title I treasure most. Life with two young children has shown me just how powerful early learning can be and fueled my passion in primary education.
