Hello!  I am in my second year at Highland Park Senior High, but not my first year in the district.  I have been teaching ELL since 2000.  Prior to teaching, I worked in imports for a national retailor.  I earned my Bachelor's of Arts degree and my ELL License at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota.  I live across the river with my husband and daughter and I am lucky to have my son close by at a University in St. Paul.  I enjoy boating, gardening, cooking, reading and spending time with family and friends.  I think I have the best job in the world.  My students amaze and inspire me each day. I hope to do the same for them.
