I have taught in the St. Paul Public Schools for 18+ years.  I am originally from Minneapolis.  I graduated from Minneapolis Southwest High School. After High School, I attended Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN.   I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and Anthropology and a minor in English and French. Two years later, I got my elementary teaching license from Northern Illinois University near Chicago.  Later, I attended University of St. Thomas in order to get my Special Education license and Bethel to get my Work Coordinator license.

I have worked at many different schools in St. Paul; Success Academy, Arlington HS, Crossroads, Four Seasons, LEAP, Central, and now Harding. I really love teaching in St. Paul and I can’t imagine teaching anywhere else.   

When I have free time, I enjoy exercising, reading, and spending time with my family.

I have three children, two cats, and one husband.
