Welcome to 3rd grade! I am extremely excited to begin my eighth year as a 3rd grade teacher. I graduated from Winona State University with a degree in Elementary Education emphasis on Early Childhood and Special Education. Following graduation, I worked as an Early Childhood Special Education teacher in the preschool here at PEM. 

I was born and raised on a dairy farm in Cashton, Wisconsin but now live just outside of Plainview, MN where I own a small flock of sheep. I love spending time with my family, gardening, and reading.
