Background:

My hometown is Hastings, NE. As an undergraduate, I attended Concordia University in Nebraska. Some activities I enjoy include: playing tennis, going on bike rides, watching and attending sporting events, attending fine art events, and reading the newspaper.

Why do you want to teach:

I want to teach because I see teaching as a platform to impact others’ lives in a positive way. The thought of teaching very much excites me, as all I wish to do is help young people grow and mature throughout education and in life.

Describe a memorable teaching experience:

My high school calculus teacher had a profound influence on me as a student and as a person. He challenged us with problems and expected a lot of us, but was a very supportive and encouraging role model. The positive experience I had in his class really helped me to decide that I wanted to pursue a mathematics degree in college.

What does the Noyce program mean to you:

The Noyce program has provided me the support I need to pursue my desire in becoming a mathematics teacher in a high-need school. I am very much appreciate the financial support it has provided in order to allow me to further my education in the field of math teaching. Furthermore, I am thankful for the relationships and collaboration with the other Noyce fellows and professors in the program. Finally, the opportunity to build a relationship with my outstanding cooperating teacher, Gary Furse, and observe, learn, and interact with him is a true blessing.
