I attend Valparaiso University  where I received my degree in elementary education.   After college I taught in at Covered Bridge Christian school in Cedarburg and Trinity  Lutheran school in West Allis.  Then in 1995 I began teaching second grade at Our Redeemer Lutheran School.   At ORLS I have taught  three and four year old kindergarten and second grade. 

I am married to my husband Mark who as a child attended Our Redeemer Lutheran School.  We are blessed to have two children Hannah and Matthew who both attend ORLS.  We have a pet gold fish Spotty who is two years old.  My family and I enjoy downhill skiing and traveling in our free time.    When I have time to myself I like create craft projects.  I could spend hours shopping in a scrapbook store.
