I began my teaching career in 1995, and taught nine years in Waconia, MN and I was at Parkside since 2005. I graduated from Gustavus Adophus College and have taught kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, and fifth grades and now sixth grade at BCMS starting in the 2023-24 school year. My husband is also a teacher at Buffalo Community Middle School and we enjoy spending time at the cabin with our two boys.
