  • Welcome to my Meet the Teacher page!

    I have been teaching at Arrowhead for 8 years.  I am looking forward to working with you and your student this year.

    By way of introduction, I was born and raised in South Dakota. I got my degree from Northern State, and had my first teaching position as a 5th grade (all subjects) teacher. I had a minor in Theatre Arts, and offered my services as Drama Director, but was relegated to position of volunteer. When the opportunity for a theatre fellowship was offered, I left to get my MA from North Dakota State.

    Armed with this new degree, I first went to Texas A&M’s Aggie Players, then back to SoDak for a year of teaching middle school, and an ultimate move to Washington, DC. I worked for several theaters in various capacities, but spent the majority of my effort with the Mt. Vernon Community Children’s Theatre.

    In 2005, I made the decision to move to Arizona. My sister had been begging me to do so for several years, so when the stars aligned, I made the trek. I came with the intention of somehow returning to the classroom. I applied first as a substitute, graduated to long term substitute assignments, and finally hired as a teacher at Arrowhead Elementary. 

    I enjoy working in my garden, tending to my 'zoo' of animals, and playing number and word games on line.
