Teacher Details

I graduated from Beloit College in 2014 with a bachelors degree in biology and a minor in music. Right out of college I began working at a camp leading various outdoor education courses for nearly 2 years. From there I worked at a childcare center in Mount Horeb for 1 1/2 years where I earned my lead teacher qualifications. I have been at Kids Junction since June 2020 where I have enjoyed hanging out with the school-agers and teaching music classes to the littles. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter. Together we enjoy going for walks, spending time up north and playing in our yard.

I graduated from Madison Memorial High School in 2020. In Fall of 2021, I started my general education courses at Madison Technical College to work towards a degree in elementary education. I plan to transfer to University of Wisconsin – Madison to complete my studies. From 12 years old, to now, I have babysat for numerous families from ages newborn to 14 years old. Outside of babysitting, I worked at the Kids Club for Princeton Club Gym for 2 years. Then in 2020, I started my employment through Kids Junction and have been here ever since. Here at Kids Junction, I have worked in the Infants & Toddlers classrooms, After School program, and Summer Camp. In my spare time, I enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities. Some of my favorites are deer hunting, fishing, hammocking, tubing, and spending the day on our family pontoon boat up north.

I graduated University of Wisconsin – River Falls in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Conservation Science and a Minor in Outdoor Adventure Education. In 2019 I got my license in special education and started the process of getting my masters in 4th to 12th grade math & science with a marketing minor. In 2009 I started working at local day camps and in 2014 I moved to overnight trip camps. I have worked for 7 different camps and led trips in over 15 states. In 2019 I took a break and taught math and science in high school. I missed the summer camp life so in January 2022 I relocated to Madison to work at Kids Junction. In my free time I enjoy hiking, photography, fishing and spending time with my family.

I am working toward a bachelors degree in health promotion and health equity at University of Wisconsin Madison. I have studied psychology of infancy to adolescence, child development from infancy to adolescence as well as child cognitive psychology. I will be starting my masters degree soon for applied behavior analysis. I plan to receive my Board Certified Behavior Analyst Certification to work in early intervention with young children on the autism spectrum using Applied Behavior Analysis therapy. My first job was as a youth sports coach which I did all through high school while also nannying on the side. Since starting college, I have done respite care for children with autism, down syndrome and cerebral palsy. I have had experience with this community for the past 10 years because my mom is a special education teacher for children on the autism spectrum. I did respite at a facility called Sensory Zone for a year and a half as well. I spend most of my free time shopping at thrift stores or reading books. Outside of work I like to try new coffee shops with friends and take part in workout classes. I always make time to exercise each morning. I enjoy running, Pilates and yoga.

I graduated high school in June of 2025. I am currently at Madison Area Technical College studying health science in order to be a pediatric dental hygienist. I started babysitting at 11 years old for many families. I did that for 4 years and then started volunteering at Life Church with the younger kids. I was a Certified Nursing Assistant for 2 years where I became skilled at first aid and communication. In my free time I enjoy shopping, cooking, crafting and the outdoors. I spend most of my time with friends and family.
