I’ve been teaching 6th grade at Truman Elementary School since the fall of 1994.  I grew up on a farm outside of Northrop, and graduated from Martin Luther High School in 1988.  I received my B.S. in Elementary Education from Mankato State University in 1993, and after one year of subbing I was hired in Truman.

I’ve been married since 1999 to Jeff, and we have three children.  We are a sports-loving family, whether it be participating or watching.  Much of our free time as a family is spent traveling to and watching sporting events.

My interests and hobbies include:  reading, exercising, and traveling.  My favorite sports teams are the Gophers, Twins, Timberwolves, Wild, Vikings, and UK Baseball.
