I earned my initial Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Learning Disabilities degrees from UW-Stevens Point in 1999.  I earned a General Education Masters Degree from UW-River Falls in 2010.  I taught at a residential treatment center in Waupaca for one year before coming to Auburndale in 2000. I began as a learning disabilities teacher at the Junior High/High School for the first 7 years. I have been teaching 1st grade since then.
