I am beyond excited to be your child’s teacher for the 2023-2024 school year! This is my 5th year teaching kindergarten at Pike Lake. I graduated from the University of North Dakota in May 2012, with an Elementary Education (K-6) degree. I worked as a Pre-K teacher for 2 years. I than was a substitute teacher in the Osseo, Anoka, and St. Francis School districts for a year. After substituting for a year I helped open a charter school in Brooklyn Park/Maple Grove. I worked there for 4 years teaching in grades K-2. Outside of teaching I love spending time with my husband, 14 year old daughter, and our son who turned 3 in June. We love grilling and going on family walks. My hope for this year is to create a welcoming environment that helps foster each child's love of learning. I cannot wait to work with each one of your children and am excited for a year full of new adventures!
