I am so happy to be your child's teacher this year.  It is my 17th 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 and Kassity live in Elizabeth. Matt works at Guy's Towing and Service in Galena and Kassity is a CNA at Galena Stauss Nursing Home. They a have a 6 month old little girl, Keigan.   Our daughter, Mollie, is an Assistant Director of Nursing at Liberty Village in Freeport. She and her little girls Camille, 4 and Madeline 2 live in Hanover. ​

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.
