Hello!!

I am very excited to be a part of Horizon and to teach on Team INSPIRE! Teaching 6th graders is one of my favorite things to do, I always say it is the best kept secret in middle school! I have taught 6th grade for 20 of the last 25 years. Before I started teaching at Horizon I taught 6th grade at Grimsrud for 9 years before they moved us up to the middle school. I started in BPS in 1998 as a 5th/6th grade looping teacher at Jeannette Myhre Elementary School for 6 years before moving to Grimsrud. I also taught 1st and 3rd grade in MN for two years before moving back to Bismarck.

I am originally from Watertown, SD and graduated from the University of Mary in 1995. I have a degree in Elementary Education and Social Behavioral Sciences with minors in secondary education and history. I recently completed my master's degree at the University of Mary in Secondary Administration in April 2022 and am looking forward to enjoying more free time!

Some of my favorite things to do when I am not at school or doing my own homework is to spend time with family and friends, going on vacations, playing card games, watching Hallmark movies, and reading books!

I hope you are ready to be a Husky and have a

great year on Team INSPIRE!!
