I grew up on a farm north of Langdon, ND and attended the University of North Dakota, getting my BSEd in Elementary/Early Childhood Education with a Music minor.
I also have a 5-8 math endorsement. I taught 7th grade math in Hot Springs, SD for 7 years. In 2001 we moved to Karlstad, MN and I taught junior high math at Tri-County. Since 2006 I have been teaching 3rd grade. My husband, Brad, is the shop & instrumental music teacher at Tri-County. We have 2 sons. Michael graduated from Tri-County in 2015 and from UND in December, 2019 with a double major in music education and vocal performance. He was married in July, 2020. He and his wife will be teaching music at MCC in Newfolden this year. Adam graduated from Tri-County in 2017 and is also attending UND. He is a senior and is majoring in civil engineering and music. I love watching the MN Vikings, going for walks, reading, and playing music. |
