Greetings! My name is Mrs. Tina Karsten and I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in Kindergarten, so every day is a dream come true! I am a kind person who is honest, understanding and fun! I am open to new ideas and suggestions. I like to have fun while we are learning at school, because I love my job!
I grew up in Menomonie and had lived there most of my life, except for the time I was in college. I attended St. Paul's Lutheran School for grades Kindergarten through 6th grade. I then attended Menomonie Middle and High School and graduated in 1999. I graduated from UW River Falls in 2004 with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Mathematics. I graduated in August of 2021 with a masters degree in Teaching and Learning, with an emphasis in Math Intervention.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I am married to Mr. Karsten and we have two children. I like to stay busy with a variety of activities. I enjoy going camping, watching my children play sports, and staying busy. I also love learning and watching others learn!
I like to keep open lines of communication with my students and parents. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments! Please feel free to call and leave a message in the office or on my extension during school hours or you may contact me anytime by email.
