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 13th year of teaching and I am more excited today than when I started.

     My husband, Cory, and I moved to Fond du Lac because of my teaching position. Cory is currently employed at Oshkosh Truck and loves to work on old tractors in his free time. Our older son, William, is in 7th grade and loves running his RC truck around our yard and being part of Oakfield's trap shooting team. Our younger son, Timothy is in 2nd grade, loves anything with wheels and playing soccer.

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