About Me

I grew up near Ramona, South Dakota, and graduated from Oldham-Ramona High School. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in elementary and special education from The University of South Dakota. I also received by Master’s Degree in special education from USD.

I was a special education teacher for 9 years: three years in Rutland and six years in Madison. In 2005, I began teaching first graders in the Madison Central School District.

My husband, Jay, and I have three boys. We live on a farm near Oldham. We spend most of our time attending baseball, football, and basketball games. Our favorite sports teams are the Vikings and the Twins. We have a dog named Rudy and a lot of farm cats!
