I graduated from Concordia College with a double major in music and English education. I grew up in Fargo, ND and taught elementary string orchestra for 5 years. After that I moved to Breckenridge and married my husband Ken. That same year I started teaching at St. Mary's and have been here ever since! We raised our family in the country near Fairmount, ND. Our daughter is now a 1st grade teacher in Gwinner, ND, where she lives with her husband and 2 dogs. For fun, I am always in the kitchen cooking up something new. In my spare time, I love to read. I also care for my aging parents and love to puppy sit for our daughter!
