I have worked in the Shakopee School district since 2004.  Before this I worked for the MRVSEC coop, in area schools.  I worked in the Early Intervention department in this district for the first seven years, and have been at Jackson Elementary School ever since.

 My goal is to keep a focus on my student’s individual objectives.  I want them to know what they are working on, and what their progress is when they are in speech.  I want my students to be engaged and focused on what they are learning.

 Outside of school I like active fun like tennis, pickle ball, and skiing.  I also like to read, and have been in a book club for years.  I play piano and sing in our church choir, too.

 I have two daughters and two stepsons who are grown.  Three of them live in the twin cities, and one is in Milwaukee.  I am originally from Wisconsin, so I am happy to get back to Wisconsin when we visit my daughter!
