My five siblings and I were fortunate that our parents were able to send us all to Catholic elementary schools and high schools. After graduating from high school, I attended the College of St. Catherine before transferring to and graduating from St. Cloud State University with a BS in Elementary Education. I am licensed to teach kindergarten through sixth grade in all subject areas. While my husband and I raised our three children, I substitute taught. In addition to being a substitute teacher at Holy Trinity School, I taught third grade full time for a year and a half before becoming one of the kindergarten teachers. While teaching I continue to attend classes and to keep updated on what is happening in education. I enjoy the enthusiasm and the excitement that five and six year olds bring into my classroom!
