Welcome! I've been teaching science and health science in 742 since 1998. I'm also the advisor for HOSA: Future Health Professionals, a student organization for those interested in exploring health-related careers while building technical and leadership skills. I earned a Bachelor's degree in science education from the College of St. Benedict and a Master's degree in education from St. Mary's University. In my spare time, I enjoy time with family and friends, coffee and dark chocolate, reading, walking my dog, and outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and canoeing.
