Education:  I received my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse in 2003 with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Early Childhood Education.  I received my Master's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of North Carolina - Wilmington in 2009.

 Experience:  I began my teaching career at Hunters Creek Elementary School directly after receiving my Bachelor's degree in Education in 2003.   This is currently my 20th year teaching Kindergarten at Hunters Creek Elementary School.

 Bio:  I am originally from Slinger, WI which is a small village about 25 miles north of Milwaukee.  My favorite season is autumn and, even though I enjoy the warmer climate that North Carolina has to offer most of the time, I miss the amazing colors of my home state during this time of year.  I am a strong supporter of the Green Bay Packers football team and the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team.

I am an avid reader and writer and I enjoy going for walks, spending time with friends, and spoiling my six nieces and two nephews as much as possible.  My favorite colors are green and black and my absolute favorite holiday is Christmas.
