Beyond the Classroom

I graduated with Honors in Elementary Education from the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, MN.  After college I taught fifth grade from 1993-1997.  Then my husband Mike and I moved to Fargo, ND where we had two daughters Claire and Anna.  I began working at Centennial Elementary as a Title VI Tutor in Reading and Mathematics.  I have also enjoyed teaching piano lessons too!

My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family at our cabin!
