I love reading! It took me a really long time to learn to read as a child, but now that I am an adult, it is my favorite hobby. When I have free time, I enjoy gardening, traveling, and spending time with my friends and family. I love learning new things and often take classes just for fun. I received my first Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.

As a child, I grew up on the east side and attended the Heights Community School, Hazel Park Middle School, and Harding Senior High. I first came to Harding as a teacher in 2007. Currently, I teach 9th-grade Content Acceleration, 11th and 12th-grade AVID. Go Knights!
