• Welcome!

    I am so excited to be at Jackson!  This is my 24th year teaching and my 21st year here at Jackson.  Time sure flies!

    I grew up outside of Chicago, Illinois in a suburb called Rolling Meadows.  I attended Winona State University and graduated in 1996 with a double major in elementary and special education. I graduated from St. Mary's University with my Master's Degree in Teaching and Learning in May 2002.

    I spent three years teaching elementary school in a small town in southeastern Minnesota.  I have been part of the special education department at Jackson since the fall of 1999.  I became the Special Education Department Lead in 2010.  I returned to the classroom in Fall 2016 and am really loving my time with students again!

     I enjoy spending time with my family.  I married my husband, Keith in 2003.  We now have 2 sons, Jack and Henry.   We enjoy frequent visits back "home" to Illinois to see my family.  GO BEARS!

     I can often be found drinking coffee each morning.  I enjoy digital scrapbooking, being a mommy, exploring the world with my kids, and traveling.   I am involved in our church, and I love to read!
     
    Thank you for supporting your student's education! I am excited to work with your child and watch their growth. Together we can help your child achieve success!
