My teaching career started back in 1990…

After graduating from Carroll University, I accepted a 4^th grade teaching position with the Hartland/Lakeside School District.  After two years as a 4^th grade teacher, I switched to 6^th grade where I taught for four years.  Then in 1996, my husband and I decided to move to Montana.  There, I took a job teaching K-4^th graders in a one-room school, and then the following two years I taught 5^th-8^th grade social studies, and language arts.  In 2000, I was offered a 5^th grade position closer to my home in Columbia Falls, so I took it.  I stayed with the Glacier Gateway School until 2006.  At that time, I was given the opportunity to be the K-12 Special Education teacher in Geraldine, Montana, so I accepted and we moved to Central Montana until 2008.  In 2008, we sold our ranch and moved to Northeast Georgia.  While there, I was a K-2 Special Education teacher.  In 2010, we decided to move to Costa Rica where I taught at a private international school for four years.  In 2014, we moved back to Wisconsin to be closer with family and friends.  I joined the HoNoR family in 2014, when I was a long term sub at the 3rd/4th grade and middle school. 

...and now, I am happy to say that I am working with amazing 5th graders!

In my free time, I love to spend time playing outdoors with Mitch, our three dogs, and my friends as much I can.  Hiking, sailing, bird hunting, fishing, skiing, and gardening are just a few of my favorites.
