I am blessed to be teaching English here at BGM since 1998. I also teach eighth grade careers and seventh grade life skills. Prior to coming to BGM, I taught at Resurrection School in Dubuque and St. Mary's School in East Dubuque, Illinois. I have also coached both junior high and high school volleyball and am currently coadvisor of junior high student council here at BGM.

My husband, Kurt, works at Soyclean here in Brooklyn. We have two kids. Brock is ten, and Holly almost seven.

In my free time I like to spend time with my family and friends. We love to go hiking together and explore different trails. I like to go for walks, run, practice yoga, play volleyball, read, go to movies and visit new places.
