I grew up in Neenah, WI, but moved to Milwaukee right after college.  I received my BS in education from UW-La Crosse.  After that, I worked for many years in MPS at Gaenslen (K-8) School.  I received my Master's Degree from the University of Milwaukee in Curriculum and Instruction, and I hold an additional teaching license in Reading.  I have mentored many student teachers, and have served as adjunct faculty at Carroll University.  I have been working in the Wauwatosa School District since 2013.
