“The magic of life awakens when you open your mind and dare to fulfill your dreams.”

Welcome Horace Mann Third Graders! I have been teaching in St. Paul for nearly twenty years and enjoy supporting and preparing students for a life-long love of learning. I am always in search of new ways to help students become avid readers, writers, mathematicians, and overall, curious learners. I enjoy exploring the latest brain research and how to incorporate it into my classroom instruction. My objective as a third grade teacher is to provide a safe, cooperative learning environment where all students are supported on their journey in becoming well-balanced and informed individuals. In my spare time I enjoy being with my family, camping, running, biking, cross-country skiing, archery and simply enjoying a great book! I am looking forward to our 2019-2020 school year together!
