Mrs. Tellefsen:
After starting a career in marketing and sales, I followed my heart and became a teacher. Now entering my 24th year, it is a journey I have never regretted. I spent 2 years teaching basic skills in North Jersey, prior to coming to Mansfield, during Mansfield Township Elementary School's opening year-22 years ago. Over the last 22 years I have taught second, third, and fourth grade. In addition to my teaching certifications, I hold my administrative and supervisory certifications. I also serve on various school committees, and am an advocate for individual student needs and learning. I teach in various ways, believe learning should be fun, and have big expectations for all of my students.
I live locally with my husband, three children, and our dog, who keep me very busy with their various sports and social calendars. I love to travel and create memories with my family and friends.
I hope you will find I am approachable and easy to talk to, so please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I look forward to working hand in hand with you, during such a special year.
