Educational Background
I am a graduate of Gladstone High School and began my teaching career with the Gladstone Area Schools in 1995. I am both proud and thrilled to be teaching in the district from which I graduated.
I attended Bethel College in St. Paul, Minnesota. After college graduation, I spent one year in the Twin Cities. During this time, I was self-employed as a carpenter. I also worked for the Minneapolis Public School system as a substitute teacher.
During my last full summer in Minnesota, I attended St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota where I received my Driver's Education Certification
