Nice to meet you!
This is my thirteenth year teaching in the Osseo School District and am so excited to be teaching fourth grade at Rice Lake Elementary School. I have taught second, fourth, and fifth grade at elementary schools and two years as an academic support teacher at Maple Grove Middle School for grades six, seven, and eight. Before I started teaching in a classroom of my own, I spent two years substitute teaching for many of the teachers across the district.
I attended Minnesota State University, Mankato and graduated Cum Laude with a B.S. in Elementary Education and a minor in Art History. I developed a passion for literature in college and a love of math later on. I am currently working on my graduate degree in education with a certificate in culturally responsive pedagogy.

When the day is done I head home to my two children, husband, and fur friends. I love spending time outdoors hiking, biking, and learning how to play tennis. I'm a strong believer in the power of friendship, laughter, and coffee. I believe shoes are a girl's best friend before diamonds and reading a good book is one of my favorite things to do!
