I graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) Education. This is my first year teaching in the Urbandale School district, and it is my third year teaching Family and Consumer Sciences classes.  I enjoy teaching FCS classes because I believe in a hands-on approach to learn real-world skills. These classes are meant to teach and encourage students to become independent, think critically, and problem solve in preparation for adulthood.
