ABOUT ME!
This is my nineteenth year teaching. I grew-up in the small town of Rice, Minnesota just north of St. Cloud. I received my undergraduate degree from the College of Saint Benedict in Saint Joseph, Minnesota. I later went on to continue my education by getting my Master’s Degree from Saint Mary’s University. My first teaching opportunity was at Onaga Elementary in Yucca Valley, California. I taught there for three years before I moved back to Minnesota to teach at RTR. At RTR I have taught kindergarten, first grade, second grade, as well as two combination grade classes (K/1 & 1/2). Although I enjoy them all, second grade is my favorite! I live on a farm outside Tyler with my husband Dennis and our sons Evan (11), Klay (8), and Hudson (6). I love spending time with my boys! This past summer we spent lots of time camping and playing outside. I love drinking coffee (hot, iced, or even lukewarm), reading, watching sports, playing fantasy football, cooking, traveling and watching my boys grow-up (even though I wish time would slow down a little).
