Hello, 

Welcome to the 4th grade!  This is my 16th year of teaching in FUSD.  I've been a proud Brookvale teacher for 14 of those  years.  Prior to getting my teaching credential I was a Brookvale parent.  I received my B.A. from Concordia University, St. Paul  and my credential and M.S. from Cal State University East Bay in Hayward.  I'm from Brainerd, in central Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes and Paul Bunyan. I love any time I can go to the Dairy Queen or be near the water.


My husband and I have two amazing adult children.  Our daughter was married October, 2023 and we gained a wonderful son-in-law.  Our son has two adorable cats and our daughter and son-in-law have a sweet dog.


I am looking forward to a wonderful school year.
