I have been teaching early childhood since 2001 and have experience working with typically developing children as well as those with special needs. I believe in educating the whole child: academically, spiritually, and emotionally. I am passionate about working with young children and their families.

Before to coming to SAL, I spent two years co-teaching an inclusive 4K program at Hales Corners Elementary. Prior to that, I spent five years teaching Early Childhood Special Education in Onalaska, Wisconsin.

I live in Waukesha with my husband and two children. We are active members of St. Anthony on the Lake Parish. I enjoy reading, cooking, traveling, being outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.
