I am entering my 13th year in the education world. I have a degree in Criminology, a Masters in Teaching, and an Administrative License. I started as a Behavior Specialist at McKinley Area Learning Center and once I received my teaching license, I ventured off to help start a Charter school where I was a Social Studies and Science teacher and also spent a couple of years as a Dean of Students and Culture. During this time, I also spent time as a part-time Police Officer. My journey has now led to joining the Tech High School team as a Social Studies teacher.
I am a coffee enthusiast, organic foodie, outdoor adventurer, and a sports lover. I am a firm believer that people need to have a creative outlet, leading to one of my more unique pasttimes, pottery at the Paramount of Arts in St. Cloud. I have been married for 12 years and we share a home with our German Shepherd, Tasha.
My goal this year is to bring unique experiences to the classroom that will immerse students into the history of the world and how society has arrived in its current state.
