Willow River is my hometown, and I am a graduate of Willow River High School. I now teach alongside a couple of the teachers I had myself, and it is an amazing experience.
I graduated from the University of Minnesota, Duluth (UMD) with a BA in Communication and then The College of Saint Scholastica with a Graduated Teaching License and also a Master Degree of Science in Education. I taught for 4 years at other local districts for grades K-3 before coming here. In Willow River, I taught my first year in Special Education and then went on to 4th grade. And now this is my 4th year teaching 4th grade here!
I am active with PTO and coaching both Varsity and elementary cheer here at school. I also co-advise Pep Club.Outside of school, I enjoy rollerblading, playing softball, gardening, and kayaking. In the winter, I enjoy snowmobiling, having a fire outdoors or indoors, and the occasional trip skiing (not often because I get too sore!), Throughout the year, I enjoy baking, reading, taking photos, going to cardio dance class, and spending time with my 3 own children.
Some things I enjoy are the Minnesota Twins, colorful owls, candles, and using felt-tip pens on my planner and never-ending to-do lists. :) I also enjoy sharing pictures of me while in school..
