Welcome to our classroom webpage!  I am so happy to be teaching kindergarten this year at St. Mary's.  This is my first year here, so I will be learning the ropes along with your child!  I graduated from Elk River High School in 2000 and then went on to graduate from the University of MN, Morris with a degree in Elementary Education.  I have one year of kindergarten experience; I taught last year at a public school in Faribault.  Previously, I taught pre-school and subbed in various places. 

I live in Owatonna with my husband, Dave, who works at Federated Insurance and our baby, Abby.  We are thrilled to be new parents and can't wait for all of the exciting times to come.  We like to play sports, garden, play with our neices and nephew, and spend time with our extended families.
