This is my 28th year teaching.  I have taught preschool through 6th grade.  My passion is early childhood. I received my BS in Elementary Education from the University of Minnesota in 1986.  I have 2 daughters, Cassie (24) and Cecelia (20) who are both in college now. My daughter and I have raised 2 service dogs through Canine Companion for Independence. I love hiking, backpacking, kayaking, biking, and reading about early childhood literacy. I am so excited to be your child's teacher.
