Welcome! Crossroads holds a very special place in my heart. I hope that you will feel the same way! 

In December 2000, I graduated from Concordia College with a degree in Elementary Education (K-6). I began subbing in Saint Paul Public Schools in January 2001. After subbing and teaching Intersession for the remainder of the 2000-2001 schoool year, I was hired at Crossroads Science! My first year started with teaching our Excel 5.5 class. In March of 2002, I was moved to a kindergarten classroom to complete the year for another teacher. I fell in love with kindergarten students! I co-taught Pre-K for one year. The next several years were spent teaching a mixed-age classroom with Pre-K and K students. I have had the pleasure of teaching kindergarten ever since!

In June 2020, I graduated from Concordia University Portland with a Masters of Education degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration of Trauma and Resilience in Educational Settings. 

I live in White Bear Lake with my family. I married my husband in 2007. Our daughter was born in 2010 and our son in 2016.
