Welcome to my personal page on our classroom website!
This is our first year on the web and I am so happy you dropped in for a visit! On this page you will get the opportunity to learn a little bit more about me including my background, education, experience and family. I look forward to learning more about each of you very soon!
I am a proud graduate of Bay Port High School in 1988! Go PIRATES! I went on to work at a bank where I was a Management Trainee while I was in college. Becuase I was totally unsure what I wanted to go to college for, I followed my parents advice and attended the University of Wisconsin Green Bay where I graduated with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Business Administration with a Major in Finance and a Minor in Economics. I received a wonderful offer from a local insurance company after graduation for a Corporate Trainer position which I accepted and went on to develop guideline materials, supervise and teach employees on insurance law and company procedures. While working at the insurance company my husband and I were blessed with three beautiful sons. After trying to volunteer in my children's classroom every chance I could, I realized that my true passion was teaching children and not adults.
I returned to college but this time to Concordia University to acquire my teachers certification and Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to teach in the district that I grew up in, and at the elementary school that my three sons attended. Although this is only my second year of teaching, I feel like my connection with Forest Glen started the day that my oldest son entered Kindergarten as a Timbertail back in September of 2001!
I am so honored to have the ability to work with your children and I promise to provide them with a warm, safe learning environment filled with wonder and opportunity. I am dedicated to guiding each of my students on a fun and engaging learning journey that will encourage them to be the best person that they can be! :o)
