Welcome to 4th Grade Online! I am so excited to be here! This is my second year teaching 4th grade online. Prior to that I taught 4th grade at Sun Path Elementary, plus 1st grade at Sun Path. I have also taught 1st grade and 2nd grade at WestWood Elementary in Prior Lake, MN. I also subbed in the Prior Lake-Savage School District for 7 years while going back to school to get my elementary licensure from St. Mary's University of Minnesota. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, although I spent my first 2 years of college as a music major at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa.

I grew up in Shakopee and have family members who still live in Shakopee. I currently live in Prior Lake with my husband Dan, our daughter Erin who is a senior at Loyola University Chicago, and our son Connor who is a freshman at Minnesota State University Mankato. We also have a little dog named Cocoa.

I am thrilled to be teaching 4th grade and I look forward to a fantastic year!
