Mrs. Beam joined the team at Valley in the fall of 2022 after teaching for five years in one of the local school districts. She graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a teaching degree and All-Social-Sciences endorsement. She has also completed her English/Language Arts endorsement through Upper Iowa University. In addition, Mrs. Beam is currently 1/3 of her way through a Masters in Education with a Talented and Gifted endorsement through Morningside College.

Mrs. Beam is married to Tyler. They have two cats: Viv (old and chunky) and Minerva (young and wild). She enjoys crafting when she has time. Elevation Church in Cedar Falls is their home church. She says the best thing about following Jesus is that it "allows me to see the best in the world, understand His grace, and know how to reach out to Him when things look bleak."
