Biography:
I attended Central Lutheran School in St. Paul from kindergarten through eighth grade. I graduated from Concordia Academy in Roseville, MN in 1973 and from Concordia Teachers College in Seward, NE in December of 1977. After teaching for a year and a half, I came back to Minnesota and Concordia College in St. Paul to receive my elementary certification. I have been at CLS ever since.
I enjoy photography, videography, golf, traveling, singing, and the Vikings.
My greatest joy in working in a Christian school is . . . being able to share the wonders of God's creation with children.
