I grew up in Appleton, WI in a family of teachers. My family shared a love of learning and now I aim to share that with my students. I attended the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire to earn my Bachelors in Music Education with focuses in Instrumental Music and Elementary Music. I earned my Masters of Education in Professional Development from the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse.  This is my 15th year of teaching and I am more excited today than when I started.

     My husband, Cory is currently employed at Oshkosh Truck and loves to work on old tractors in his free time. Our older son, William, is a freshman at Oakfield HS and loves running his RC truck around our yard and being part of Oakfield's trap shooting team. Our younger son, Timothy is in 4th grade and loves mowing the lawn.

      In my free time, I play bassoon with the Fond du Lac Symphonic Band, read lots of books, make cards, and scrapbook!
