Meet Ms. Bri

Hello and welcome! I am excited to be here with you.

I grew up in northern Minnesota in the tiny town of Backus. We spent a lot of time making our own fun in the great outdoors.

I graduated from St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Spanish after having the opportunity to study abroad in Spain and Mexico.

I started teaching in Houston, TX in the fall of 2004, I moved to Winona in the summer of 2005 and have lived here ever since. I spent most of those years at Bluffview Montessori, but I am proud and excited to to have joined the Cotter family in the fall of 2020.

You might see me out in my garden or walking around the lake. I love canoeing the Boundary Waters each summer.

I love the energy, capabilities, and curiosity of children! I look forward to getting to know your precious child.
