Where were you born and raised?
I grew up in Siren, Wisconsin. My parents still live there today.
What schools did you attend?
I attended Siren Consolidated School from Kindergarten through high school. I am still good friends with many people that I met that very first day of Kindergarten. After high school I went to Minnesota School of Business and then National American University where I earned a degree in Business Administration. I later went back to school and received another degree in Elementary Education from the College of St. Catherine.
Where were you previously employed?
Before coming to St. Peter's School, I worked for Target Stores in many different locations and positions. At the same time, I was also a substitute teacher in St. Michael.
What brought you to St. Peter’s School?
After I graduated from St. Kate's I applied to many elementary schools and St. Peter's gave me an interview. I was offered the position during the interview and I know now as I knew then that God wants me to be here.
What do you enjoy most about your career?
I love teaching this age group. They are young people eager to discover what life will bring them. I enjoy preparing them for the next step of their journey: middle school.
What are your favorite hobbies/pastimes?
When I have the time, I like to read. I also spend time with my dog, Dolly, and my family.
What is your “secret” for working with children on a daily basis?
I really do not think there is a secret. I just enjoy coming here and being with the students everyday.
