This is my 13th year at St. Mary’s School, and feel blessed every day that I get to come to this fabulous place.  I spend each day with middle school students exploring our world through social studies and the other half as the Assistant Principal of our school. I see myself as more than just the teacher, I also like to plan adventures for middle school students, helping them stretch their ideas and the world around them.

My own path to St. Mary’s is a twisty one, but brought me right where I am supposed to be.  I grew up in Cottage Grove, MN, just outside St. Paul. I went to the College of St. Benedict and then taught on the East Coast.  I taught middle school science, social studies, and language arts to 7th and 8th graders at the Winchester School for seven years and was mentored by some really fabulous teachers in New Hampshire. I completed my masters degree in 2020 at St. Mary’s University, in Educational Leadership and I am looking forward to utilizing that in my role as Assistant Principal.

I spend my free time reading, quilting, traveling, playing trivia and adventures with friends. I recently moved to Olivia with my dog, Rudy, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
