My family and I grew up in St. Paul.  I am a product of St. Paul Public Schools and I believe in what SPPS has done for me and my own family. I have been with St. Paul Public Schools for 19 years, 14 years as a teacher in grades 3, 4, and 5.  I have a passion for students and learning.  I love students and encouraging them to learn, work hard and grow.

I am married with 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls.  My oldest is a junior at the University of Minnesota, my second is a junior in high school, my third is a freshman in high school, and my youngest is a 5th grader.  I love spending time with my family, cooking, and relaxing.

I am really excited to be here at Capitol Hill Gifted and Talented Magnet.  Please feel free to stop by and say "Hello" or call if there is something I can help you with. I can be reached at 651-744-2532 or 651-443-1965.  I look forward to a great and exciting year with our students and staff.
