This will be my 5th year teaching third grade. All previous years were at Rogers Elementary. Before teaching in Minnesota, I taught various age groups in Des Moines, Iowa and Houston, Texas. I studied education with an emphasis in reading at Iowa State University and graduated in 2008. I went back to school to get my Master’s in Educational Leadership from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and graduated in 2015. Outside of school time is spent between my home here in Otsego and in Knoxville, Iowa, which is my hometown. My family and I travel to Knoxville each weekend from April to August, where my family has been racing sprint cars for 12 years. We bring our two year old daughter, Halle, with us as well. Although the trip can be long, we really enjoy having this opportunity to spend time with my family who still lives there.
Fun Facts: My daughter and I were both born on Black Friday, 30 years apart. I hate peanut butter and haven't eaten it since I was a child.
