I am excited to be starting my 13th year of teaching at Island Lake! I have been in the Mounds View School District for 29 years. I spent my first eleven years teaching kindergarten & 5th grade at Snail Lake Elementary. I then took a leave to stay home with my children Tyler and Olivia. I was fortunate enough to study at the University of Denmark for 1 year, and then graduated with my Master's Degree from Saint Mary's. In my free time I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I spend my summers in Alexandria, wake surfing, water-skiing, swimming and relaxing with my family. I truly enjoy teaching and am so lucky to be able to say I love what I do! I look forward to another great year at Island Lake. My hope is for each student to have a terrific fourth grade year filled with learning, growth, laughter and new friendships!
