I am a 1982 graduate of Huron High School in Huron, SD and a 1987 graduate of St. Cloud State University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Reading Instruction and a Kindergarten Endorsement. I have been teaching for 23 years. My experiences include pre-school, kindergarten, second grade and third grade. I am currently enjoying my 5th year teaching second grade at Loyola.
