I am so excited to be teaching 5th grade at Woodland! This will be my 16th year teaching. Prior to teaching at Woodland, I first taught 7th and 8th grade math for 4 years in Saint Paul. Then for ten years I taught 4th grade, 8 years in Stillwater, and two years at Garden City in Brooklyn Center. I am passionate about learning and my favorite subjects are math and science.
Both my husband and I grew up in Brooklyn Park. I graduated from Crestview, Brooklyn Middle, and finally, Park Center High School- Go Pirates!!. I also worked for Parks and Recreation in Brooklyn Park for 14 years at Zanewood Recreation Center and various sites coaching sports.
My husband and I have two beautiful children, Olivia who will be four in September and Ben is 18 months old. They will be future Woodland Students! We love to check out all of our local parks, go on long walks, and of course take special trips to anywhere that serves ice cream!
I am so excited for this school year and look forward to meeting you soon!
