It’s going to be a great year! I am excited to work with this awesome group of students. I hope you had a fun summer filled with laughter and sun! This will be my 30th (yikes!) year teaching. Long ago I went to Irondale High School and graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College. I got my master’s degree from St. Mary’s University and started my career at Snail Lake Elementary. I moved to Island Lake when Snail Lake closed. Over the years I have taught grades 3-5 in different capacities.  I live in Shoreview with my husband, Mike, and our children. We have 2 girls, Kieran, a sophomore at Gustavus Adolphus College, and Shea a senior at Mounds View High School. We also have a dog named Howie. I LOVE hockey, and we have season tickets to the Gopher men’s hockey team. Reading and being on the water makes me happy, which makes my family cabin in northern MN my favorite place. We love to fish, and I caught the fish of a lifetime this summer! I look forward to learning with you, laughing with you, and partnering with your parents to help you reach your goals.
