I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education.  I also have a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Olivet-Nazarene University. I have been with the West De Pere School District since 2001. I have always taught fifth grade in WDP, but I have taught in three separate buildings during my time here:  the Middle School, Hemlock Creek Elementary, and now the Intermediate School. Prior to moving to the area, I taught fifth grade in the Wisconsin Rapids School District. 

I am excited to build a community of learners who are about to embark on a new adventure in fifth grade.
