All about Me!

I grew up on a farm just outside of Lancaster, Wisconsin, located in the southwest part of the state. I attended UW-Platteville and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. Additionally, I have a Learning Disabilities teaching certificate from Edgewood College in Madison.

I am married and have three children: Elyse, Claire, and Ryan; our two daughters live here in the area. This is what brought us to Minnesota. Our son, Ryan, lives and works in Colorado.

For the majority of my teaching career, I have taught either kindergarten or first grade.  I taught at St. Francis Xavier Catholic School System in Appleton, Wisconsin for the past four years.

Some of my interests are knitting, cooking, baking, reading, gardening, and generally just being outdoors.

I am looking forward to getting to know the families and parishioners here at All Saints!
