I have been teaching in the St. Paul Public Schools since 1992. I am currently in my 30th year of teaching. I taught students at Parkway (when it was an elementary school), at Washington (when it was a junior high school), and now I am at LEAP High school.  I have been at LEAP since 2005. I have taught English Learners from all over the world. This year I am the Learning Lead at LEAP. I get to work with teachers and staff to make LEAP the best it can be for our students and their success in their new country.

I am bilingual. My first language is English. I learned German while living and working in Austria and Germany.

Welcome to LEAP!
