I have a bachelor of science degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Coaching from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and a master of science degree in Administration from the University of Wisconsin-Superior.

I have taught in Minnesota and Wisconsin since 1984, both in a classroom and as a science specialist. It is my belief that every child is a unique individual with the capability of growing intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically. In order to achieve their highest potential, they need a secure, caring and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow.
