I grew up in St. Paul and attended the University of Wisconsin in River Falls. I have a BS in Elementary Education, grades 1 through 6. I have been teaching for 27 years, of which 23 years have been at Saint Rose. I love to teach Science! I believe it is so important that students do hands-on learning activities in the classroom. I love to see the students working together to solve problems and enjoy seeing their minds work. I also enjoy the enthusiasm that the students have at this age. When I am not at school, I enjoy traveling and spending time outside in the sun!
