I've been at teacher at Harding High School for the past fourteen years and a teacher in St. Paul Public Schools for the past twenty-two years. I've gotten to know many remarkable students and staff at Harding and in the St. Paul School district. Before I was teacher, I was a student at the University of St. Thomas where I received a BA in Biology and an MA in Education. Before that, I went to high school at Como High School and Murray Junior High School, so I've been in St. Paul schools since 1989!

Outside of school I spend the vast majority of time oustide as a competitive paddler, biker, hiker, fisherman, and overall nature lover.
