“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.”

Welcome all Horace Mann and Highland Park Elementary English Learners! I have been teaching in St. Paul for over 15 years and enjoy supporting and preparing students for a life-long love of learning. I work with students in kindergarten to fifth grade at both Horace Mann and Highland Park Elementary. Students are supported academically through reading, writing and / or mathematics. I am always in search of ways to help students become avid readers and I enjoy exploring the latest brain research to enhance my instruction. My objective as an EL teacher is to provide English Learners with the support they need to acquire English language proficiency in grade-level academic content. In my spare time I enjoy being with my family camping, running, biking, cross-country skiing, archery and simply enjoying a great book!
