Working...
Welcome to my page!
One of my goals as a teacher (along with teaching content) is to make students feel comfortable and welcome in my class. I will treat each student with respect, and expect that same treatment from my students (both towards myself and other students). I hold high expectations for my students, expecting their full commitment and effort in my classes. While I am very available to offer assistance, their success hinges on their dedication and responsible decision-making.
I grew up on a farm near Platte Center and Columbus, Nebraska. I attended a small K-8 school (4 kids in my class!) and graduated from Columbus Lakeview. I attended UNL for 3 semesters before transferring to UNK to finish my Bachelors with teaching degrees in Math and Social Science. My first teaching job was teaching math in Wallace, Nebraska for two years. I then taught Algebra 1 in Scott City, Kansas for two years before moving to Holdrege and subbing in several schools for one year. I completed my Masters of Curriculum & Instruction - Math Education in the summer of 2012.
I started teaching in Loomis in 2001 and now consider Loomis my hometown. I have three children that all will graduate from Loomis. Drew graduated from UNL with a Computer Science degree and is currently working in Baton Rouge, LA. Jackson is a senior at UNL majoring in Agribusiness. Kinsey is a junior in Loomis. I have been married to Darren for eleven years, and have two step-children. Both Andrew and Sara graduated from Wesleyan and work in Lincoln. Sara just got married last winter to Zach.
If you have any concerns or just want to say hi, send me an email. You will also be able to find me at MANY of the Loomis school and community events. Go Wolves!
