This is my very first year teaching at East Central Elementary School. I am very excited to be a part of this community and to be working with this group of fifth grade students. Prior to coming to East Central Elementary School I taught fifth grade for two years at Trailview Elementary School in Mora MN. I was the last graduating class from Duluth Central High School. Growing up, I spent summers at my family's cabin on Grindstone Lake so this area is very familiar to me.
I attended college at The University of Wisconsin - River Falls and graduated with a BA in Elementary Education and received my coaching certificate. While at River Falls I was on the women's basketball team for a short time until I tore my ACL. I still enjoy playing basketball in my free time though. I am a member of the Kerrick Fire and Rescue Department which keeps me busy. Some other things that I enjoy are running, playing board games, collecting agates, and spending time with my family.
