Language Arts Teacher at Northland Pines Middle & High School Email Phone: 715-479-4473 ext. 2103 Welcome to my website!
I have been teaching at Northland Pines Middle & High School since 1990. I grew up in Ashland, Wisconsin, in a very athletic family. Upon my high school graduation, I attended UW-Eau Claire where I majored in English and minored in Speech Communications. I received my bachelor's degree in 1988 from UW-Eau Claire and began my teaching career In De Forest, Wisconsin. As a young, single teacher, I coached forensics, debate, and girls track. at DHS. When I moved to the Northwoods after my first two years of teaching, I taught summer school at Rhinelander High school before being hired here at Northland Pines High School. In 1995 I received my Master's Degree in Instruction-Reading from UW-Superior.
I have taught at Northland Pines for over 20 years and consider it a blessing to be able to have been a part of the lives of so many young, talented students. I continue to keep in touch with many former students and strive to keep abreast with the current teaching techniques, techology and research to meet the needs of the current students at NPSD.
I live in Land O' Lakes Wisconsin with my husband and three children. In my "free time" I enjoy reading, gardening, camping and supporting various athletic teams.. When I am not cheering on one of the Northland Pines sports' teams (which my children are playing for), I am rooting for the Badgers, Brewers and the "13-time World Champions", Green Bay Packers.
