I have been a teacher in the Erin School District since 1988.  My first three years at Erin School I taught third grade. Since that time to the present I have been teaching fourth grade students.

 I received a bachelor's degree in 1987 from UW-Whitewater in Elementary Education and I am certified to teach grades 1-8. In August of 2003, I acquired my master's degree in Teacher Development in the field of Technology Education from Marian University, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. 

 I have been involved as a coach for chess club, boys' volleyball and running club. I have also served as a Parent Teacher Club (PTC) Vice President and have volunteered in many of the PTC activities.  I have also been involved in several community organizations, such as the Erin Soccer Club, the Hartford Union High School Booster Club and church sponsored activities.

I am also an advocate of health and fitness in the classroom and in my personal life.  In April 2011, I participated in the Boston Marathon after qualifying in May 2010 in Green Bay at the Cell Com Marathon.  This was an incredible experience!  I enjoy using my exeriences to help motivate students.
