After graduating from Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln High School, I attended UW-LaCrosse where I earned my bachelor's degree in art education. My first job as a teacher was in Wisconsin Dells as the middle school Art Teacher. I also coached the Varsity Girls Basketball and was the Head Drama Director. In 2000 I made the move to the wonderful Reedsburg School District when I was hired as the Webb Middle School Art Teacher. In 2003 I also became the Head Drama Director at the High School. I love my job and look forward to educating in Reedsburg for a long time.
