Courtney’s passion for working with young children began in high school when she took an Early Childhood course and instantly knew she wanted to become a teacher. Courtney graduated with her bachelor‘s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and received her master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Concordia University. She has worked as an Early Head Start Teacher, MyTeachingPartner (MTP) Coach and Master Coach/Program Director. While working as an MTP coach she was able to become certified in multiple CLASS tools as well as become a CLASS affiliate trainer for the Toddler and Pre-K tools. In her spare time Courtney enjoys going on “junk jaunts” and spending time cheering on the Nebraska Cornhuskers with her husband and daughter. Favorite Teacher:Ms. Donna Mikesell, High school Math/Swimming Coach
