This is my 2nd year at Windsor as the Community School Coordinator! My role is vast and means a lot to a lot of people,  but the main thing to take away is that I’m here for students and families to ensure everyone has equitable access to successful outcomes.
I serve as an agent for positive change through collaborative leadership and inclusive culture & belonging at school; assist students and families in accessing food, clothing, and other basic needs; engage students and families in activities and events; and provide opportunities for the community to be involved at our school.

When I’m not at school you will find me in the community with my husband and kids! We love exploring parks, going to community events, attending library story times, and, our favorite, eating at all the amazing restaurants Des Moines has to offer! I love cooking, reading, creating, DIYing, and having fun with whatever I’m doing.

This is my 1^st year as a school nurse, and I could not be more excited! I spent the last year and a half in post anesthesia care, waking up infants to elderly from surgery. I subbed in DMPS as a nurse last year and found that school nursing may be my niche. I am excited to serve the Windsor Community. In my free time, I can be found playing pickleball, doing yoga, spending time with my cat and husband, and advocating for the local food system. My goal as a school nurse is to promote health and well-being, serve as an advocate, and be a resource of health education for the Windsor community.
