I am a graduate of Moorhead State University with a degree in Elementary Education. I also have Kindergarten Endorsement and a Psychology Concentration. I had 10 years of teaching experience and almost 2 years of experience as a licensed child care provider prior to joining the GHES staff.

My family and I moved to Starbuck at the end of 2000.  We have thoroughly enjoyed the community of Starbuck and the people here! Tom and I have 2 sons, Aaron (who is a freshman at NDSU this year) and Austin (who is a junior at MAHS this year), and 4 Labrador Retrievers. As a family, we spend much of our time with sports, hunting, fishing/boating and 4-wheeling. I also love to do home improvement projects.

I consider it a privilege to be able to provide an education to the young people of this area!! GHES is truly a great place to be and I look forward to each new day! 

My philosophy revolves the old Chinese proverb: "Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I'll understand".
