Hometown:
Hello friends! I grew up in the US and Canada. So far, I've lived in five different states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Alaska, Arizona and Colorado. My family and I love Colorado for its mountains and outdoor life so we have lived here the longest.
Professional Background/Education/Experience:
Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Martin Luther College, New Ulm, MN; Master of Arts in Teaching: Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education, ELD Endorsement from University of Northern Colorado
This is my 21st year teaching and working with elementary and early childhood students. I'm so excited to meet you and your child, and I'm eager to begin our journey in reading together!
What I love about working at Beattie:
Teamwork and smiles! There are amazing people at Beattie who are filled with knowledge, offer support, and care about your child's learning.
Personal Interests/Hobbies:
I love spending time outdoors with my husband and kids. We hike and run on crazy mountain trails, bike on beautiful mountain roads and backpack into serene mountain lakes. I also love to paint, travel and I'm learning Spanish.
