I am so excited for the new school year!  I have a passion for working with students with special needs and am committed to motivating all students to reach their highest potential. It is a privilege to be able to do this work in partnership with the staff at Bridge View, families, caregivers and community partners in St. Paul.

I have been employed in the St. Paul Public Schools since 1993 and have worked as an educational assistant, a due process compliance monitor, an EBD teacher, a coordinator and lead teacher in a variety of special education settings.

I received a Bachelor's Degree from UW Stout in Child Development and Family Life, a Master's Degree from the University of Minnesota and obtained my K-12 Principal License at St. Mary’s University.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, live music and outdoor activities.
