Staff Profile

Hello! This is my 5th year at Frost Lake Elementary. In the past few years I played various roles as a Reading Specialist. This year I will be teaching reading interventions to students in grades 3-5. I have met and worked with so many amazing students, families and staff!  I am excited to continue learning from each other and growing our community!

In December 2000, I graduated from Concordia College with a degree in Elementary Education (K-6). I began subbing for Saint Paul Public Schools in January 2001. I was hired in August 2001 to teach an Excel 5.5 class at Crossroads Science Elementary School. In March of 2002, I was moved to a kindergarten classroom to complete the year for another teacher. I spent almost 20 years teaching Kindergarten at Crossroads , with a little PreK sprinkled in too!

In June 2020, I graduated from Concordia University Portland with a Masters of Education degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an Emphasis in Trauma and Resilience in Educational Settings. 

I live in White Bear Lake with my family. I married my husband in 2007. Our daughter was born in 2010 and our son in 2016. We transferred our son to Frost Lake during the 2024-2025 school year and have been so happy with his growth!
