I've lived in southeastern Wisconsin my whole life. I went to school for industrial engineering and corporate communication organization. I never wanted to be a teacher. That is, not until 2 very difficult pregnancies had me on bed rest and it of the corporate life. In 2001, I started substitute teaching. I did that for 5 years, was a para for 5 years while I got my masters in special education, couple years later, got my masters in alternative education. I teach at a public, title 1, urban school and love every moment!

I have been married 30 years, have 2 either grown children, a 10.5 year old Vizsla and at month old Vizsla ❤️ My life is full and my heart is fuller!
