I taught first grade for a few years until motherhood became my main focus. As my sons entered school full time, I went back into the classroom. This time in KINDERGARTEN! I found my passion...5 year olds! I have taught full day Kindergarten at Redeemer for over 25 years! And I have over twenty five "favorite" classes! Each year brings abundant joy and endless rewards as I see children discover that learning is fun! My goal is to teach children to love their Savior, love school and love to learn!

I grew up in Wisconsin and attended Martin Luther College. My family and I love exploring the great state of Arizona. I enjoy so many things about teaching fifth and sixth grade at Redeemer. I love watching my students grow academically, emotionally, and spiritually during these transition years!
