I'm excited to share a couple of life updates! Chad and I eloped on December 6, 2025, followed by a wedding celebration with our family and friends on June 6, 2026 in Kalamazoo. We've loved settling into this new chapter together in Southwest Michigan. Professionally, I also made a career change, I left Grand Valley State University in October of 2025 to return to the classroom as a 5th grade teacher at White Pigeon Community Schools. This fall, I'm excited to continue teaching 4th grade at White Pigeon, where I'm excited to invest in students and continue my passion for education. I'm looking forward to what this next season holds and am proud to remain part of the Laker alumni community.
