I am so happy to have started in 2012 at Whittier International Elementary.  I have been teaching for 26 years and have spent 19 of those years in the Minneapolis Public School District.  I received my Education degree from the University of St. Thomas.  I did my Masters degree work through the University of St. Mary's.  I am also a facilitator of The Responsive Classroom and have worked with teachers throughout the five state region. I'm looking forward to guiding the students' inquiry during our IB units. If you have any questions or comments, the best way to reach me is by phone or in person. Stop by any time before or after school to talk.
