I attended St. Catherine University in St. Paul and graduated with a bachelors degree in elementary education in 2007. I am licensed as a K-8 teacher with a specialty in language arts and communication. This is my sixth year teaching fifth grade at Friendly Hills Middle School. When I am not teaching, I love to spend time with my husband and our two sons. I also enjoy running, participating in team duathlons and triathlons, reading and writing.
