I feel privileged to teach and live in the wonderful community of Chippewa Falls.  I also love the students and staff I work with everyday at Southview Elementary. I have worked in the Chippewa Falls School District since 2006.  Prior to that, I graduated from Minnesota State University of Moorhead.  I absolutely love teaching first grade!  This is truly a year of growth in children.  At home, my husband Derick and I have three children: Ellenor, Nolan, and Emmelia.  We love to spend time together outside, no matter what season it is.  I also enjoy running, yoga, hiking, biking, and just being with my family.
