3rd Grade

7th year at St. Mary School

Education: I have a B.A. in Theater Arts from Augsburg College and M.A. in Elementary Education from the College of St. Catherine

Hobbies: My hobbies include martial arts, writing, and exploring the St. Croix River Valley.

My favorite teacher was my 4th grade teacher, Ms. Schwister. Her passion for teaching, creative approaches to learning, and commitment to her students helped me to become a committed "lifelong learner" and inspired me to pursue a career in education.

Favorite Book: The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Masahi

The thing that I like best about reaching at St. Mary School: I couldn't be happier about being here at St. Mary School. I am looking forward to becoming a vital part of the school and parish community. I am also excited about forming meaningful and lasting friendships.
