Andover High School

 

I am starting my 5th year as a special education teacher here at Andover High School.  I began working in the Anoka-Hennepin District as a special education para. As of January 2014, I moved into the role of a special education teacher at Coon Rapids High School. 

 

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Superior with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.  I taught 4th grade for one year in a small town in Wisconsin before realizing my true passion was working with students with special needs.  I'm currently finishing up my Master's Degree through Bethel University and have a license to teach students with mild-moderate disabilities in ASD, SLD, OHD, DCD, and EBD.  Last summer (2017), I finished my DCD (moderate-severe) license through Bethel, and I have moved into the role as a DCD teacher here at Andover.

 

I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, but I have always been in love with Minnesota.  In my spare time, I sing and play guitar in a band, I enjoy watching movies, spending time with friends and family, going to concerts and hanging out with my wife and two dogs!
