"This will be my 24th year teaching, but my first year in Middle School.
I grew up in Marshall, MN. I attended Concordia College where I met my husband, Terry. Terry is a marketing manager for Sanford Sports. We have four amazing kids. Mya is 20 and is a junior at Augustana. She plays volleyball and is studying to be an ER doctor. Kailey is an 8th grader at Memorial. Taylor & Ty are 6th graders at Memorial.
My spare time is filled up with driving kids around and attending all of their various sporting events!
I am looking forward to a new experience at the middle school level and am most excited about getting to know my students!"

"I am originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico but grew up in the Sioux Falls area. I previously taught 8th grade ELA at Ben Reifel Middle School.
I live with my husband and our three dogs, three geckos, and one cat. We foster dogs with AHCR, so we usually have a couple more animals around than our original seven! In the summer, my husband and I like to travel. This summer we explored different parts of Italy!
This year, I am most excited to be back at GMMS with the awesome staff and kids! I spent my first year teaching at George and have missed the community ever since. I am also excited to be coaching cheer with Coach Bates and the talented student athletes!"
