about me

I recently moved from Denver (where I lived for 12 years) to my home state of Minnesota.  My husband, two sons, and I bought a house in Maple Grove.  We are loving the relocation besides getting used to the COLD winters again.  


I have always been dedicated to helping the youth in this world and thoroughly enjoy my career as a Special Education teacher.  It is especially nice when Andy and I have breaks at the same time for our many adventures as he is also a teacher.  We both work at Maple Grove Middle School!

I love to read, enjoy the outdoors, spend time with friends and family, be lazy, pasta, my DVR, licorice, snowboarding, wine, happy hours, traveling, trying new restaurants, learning, turquoise jewelry, pedicures, horseback riding, walking through fall leaves, movie marathons, and being organized.   

Life is an incredible adventure, sometimes with bumpy roads, but I like to spend my time thinking about the little things in life that make me smile.
