I have been a Learning Disability Teacher for my entire teaching career. I have a BS in education from the University of Minnesota, and a Masters degree in Special Education from the University of St. Thomas. I have the recognition of being a 'Highly Qualified Teacher' of Learning Disabilities at the elementary school level.

I have a daughter who received a St. Paul Public school education from 1st-12th grades. I am proud of the education that she received and believe that St. Paul Public Schools provides a strong educational experience.

My free time is spent working in my gardens, as well as having a small antiques business that I enjoy.
