I am so happy to be your child's teacher this year.  It is my 15th year of teaching.  Before I earned my elementary teaching degree, I operated a home daycare while our three children were young.  I then worked as a preschool aide for four years with Mrs. Bonnie Chase here at River Ridge.  During this time, I decided to go back to school to earn my bachelor's degree from University of Platteville in 2006.  

My husband and I live in rural Elizabeth where we farm and he is also Hanover Township Road Commissioner.  Together we have three grown children; Jeff and his wife, Katelyn live in Hazel Green, WI. Jeff works at Bard Materials and Katelyn is a physical therapist at Midwest Medical.  Matt lives in Elizabeth and works at Guy's Towing and Service in Galena.   Our daughter, Mollie, and her husband, Chris farm in Massbach and they have two little girls, Camille, 3 and Madeline, 1.​

In my spare time I like to sit on my front porch, read and watch the Green Bay Packers.  When we go on vacation, I love to be near the water and beach.
