I graduated with Bachelor of Science degrees in Elementary Education and Learning Disabilities 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 2007.

I have 4 adult sons, 3 of them graduated from Auburndale, and 3 grandsons. My husband, Chris, and I enjoy motorcycle riding, fishing, watching movies and sight seeing. In addition to spending time with family, I enjoy scrapbooking, walking, reading, and my newest hobby, rock painting!
