I became a teacher in 2002 after completing my undergraduate degree in elementary education from the University of Wisconsin Green Bay. In 2007 I earned my Master's Degree in Reading from Cardinal Stritch University, and am a licensed Reading Teacher/Reading Specialist. I have taught Preschool, Kindergarten, and 7th grade Science and Language Arts. I have been providing reading intervention to students in the Grafton School District since 2014.
