I grew up in St. James, MN. After graduating from high school, I attended and graduated from Southwest Minnesota State University with a degree in Early Childhood (birth-3rd grade) and a reading licensure (kindergarten-12th grade). Throughout my teaching journey so far, I have taught either kindergarten or preschool in Ivanhoe, MN, Jackson, MN, and Jordan, MN. I am enjoying my time being here at Fairmont and at SJV! During my spare time I enjoy reading, baking, listening to music, and shopping!
