Biography

Greetings!  This year I will be teaching Math II and Math III. It is my 1st year with the School District of La Crosse. I earned my Bachelors Degree from Carthage College, Masters Degree from Cardinal Stritch University, and am currently working on my Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction (with a Mathematics Education emphasis) from Indiana University. Prior to teaching in La Crosse I taught at The Prairie School in Racine, WI.

I enjoy spending any free time I have with my husband, Dean, and our puppy, Roulette.  In September we will be welcoming a new addition to our family.  Details coming soon!
