This year will be my 21st year of teaching at the Early Elementary level.  I received my undergraduate degree from UW-Stevens Point, my teaching certification from Silver lake College, and I earned my Master's degree in Quality Classroom Management from Viterbo University.  I moved here from Minocqua, where I taught for 12 years.  Last year was my ninth year in Crivitz.  I am very proud to be part of this staff.  You are blessed to have such a knowledgeable, professional, and caring group of people educating your children.

     I have two children of my own.  My daughter, Taylor, is 28 and lives and teaches in Minneapolis.  She majored in Youth Studies at the University of Minnesota. My son, Chase, is 29 and lives in Madison.  He attended UW-Madison and now works in optometry.  Of course, I am very proud of both of them!

     I live in a little cottage in the woods with my husband, Rick, and our five dogs, 25 chickens, and our donkeys Sal and Pete and our mini horse, Copper. In our free time, Rick and I enjoy fishing, hunting, gardening--just about anything outside!  We are fortunate to live between the two flowages northwest of Crivitz, so many weekends are spent on our boat.
