Greetings from 5th grade! The 2019–2020 school year begins my 20th year of teaching. I am overjoyed to be teaching in my hometown, where I grew up and graduated with a wonderful educational experience. I attended college at Winona State University, where I majored in Elementary Education with licensures in Middle School Life Science and Social Studies. My Masters in Educational Leadership is from Southwest Minnesota State University. My home is in Luverne with my husband Matt and our 2 children, Charlie and Ingrid.
