I started working as an elementary counselor in Osseo Area Schools in the fall of 2005.  I have a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Psychology from the University of Minnesota - Duluth and a Master of Arts degree in School Counseling from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities.   I have worked at Rice Lake, Woodland, Garden City, the Distance Learning Academy, and Basswood.  Clio started with me as a therapy dog in the fall of 2015, Thor joined our team in the fall of 2019, and Loki joined in 2023.  I thoroughly enjoy teaching classroom lessons, running small group counseling sessions, and meeting with students one-on-one.  I am proud to be a member of the amazing K-12 counseling team that we have in our district.  As a team, we work hard to support our district's mission:

The mission of Osseo Area Schools is to inspire and prepare all students with the confidence, courage and competence to achieve their dreams; contribute to community; and engage in a lifetime of learning.
