DUBUQUE—On Monday, June 26, Ashley Hinzmann joined the St. Mark Youth Enrichment administrative team as office coordinator with plans to transition into the organization’s future Early Childhood team.
Ashley has a BA in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Early Childhood Special Education from the University of Northern Iowa and received a Master of Arts in Teaching from Morningside University with a Special Education endorsement of K-8 Instructional Strategist I: Mild/Moderate.
Ashley considers herself a lifelong learner and continually looks for ways to learn and grow, both personally and professionally.
Most recently, Ashley was a kindergarten teacher at Prescott Elementary, where she taught for 5 years and was a paraprofessional for 2 years.
She shared, “Through my time there, I developed a deep passion to serve students and families who may need the extra love and support—Rita Pearson coined, ‘every child deserves a champion,’ and I truly believe that!”
Ashley has also worked at various childcare centers throughout the area.
