Amanda attended Concordia University of Wisconsin. She graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education in 2013, with a minor in Mathematics. She really enjoys watching the kids' faces light up when they have "Ah Ha!" moments and her favorite lesson to teach is the habitat unit in Science. Knowing the faculty and staff work together for the good of the kids brings her joy as well as the family feel.

Amanda attends Immanuel Lutheran Church and says the best part about following Jesus is that He "is always there. No matter what the situation, I can feel confident in the fact that He is in control and has a plan for all situations. He is an ever present, always loving, continually forgiving God." Amanda VERY much enjoys crafting and reading in her spare time.
