Education and Experience

I am the Kindergarten through Third Grade at Trinity Lutheran School. 

I graduated from the University of Iowa with a BA in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree focussing on Reading Disabilities. I also hold certification in Early Childhood Education from Martin Luther College. My early teaching was in public schools teaching both in the classroom and remedial reading. For over 20 years I have taught in Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran schools at various levels, ranging from Preschool through Fourth Grade.

A favorite Scripture passage is The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. Deuteronomy 33:27
