My Educational Philosophy

I believe all students have worth, strengths, and the ability to succeed.  My role as a Learning Coach is to create an environment where students feel safe, respected, and valued, regardless of their background, abilities, or challenges.

Personal Life

My husband and I grew up in Minnesota, but moved to Texas at the end of 1999.  We never thought we would live anywhere besides MN, but life has a way of showing you different outcomes.  We have enjoyed TX more than we thought; however, I am so glad to be back working in MN at Crosslake Community School!  We have 2 children, and as of October 2025, they will both be married.  Our oldest has given us a new name/role, "grandparents," and I have to say that this is my favorite role yet!!

When not working, I enjoy reading, traveling, spending time with family here in TX with our adult children and grandchildren, and traveling to MN to visit family and friends there.  I also enjoy working out at a local boxing gym.  

Experience

This is my 28th year in education and my 9th year here at CCS.  I have worked with ages 6 weeks to 21 years.  I have enjoyed every age group and position, but my current position as a Learning Coach has been my favorite!

Education

I attended and earned my degree at Minnesota State University Moorhead (go Dragons!!)
