Education: I attended Resurrection Lutheran in Rochester, MN, for grades K-8. I then went on to high school at Luther Preparatory School in Watertown, WI, graduating in 2018. From there, I attended Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN, graduating in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in both Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I hold a MN teaching license for Birth-Grade 3 and K-6th grade. I am currently working towards a Master’s in Education with an emphasis in special education through Martin Luther College. 

Hobbies and Interests: I enjoy reading, playing board games, hiking, camping, playing tennis, and spending time with my family and friends.

What you like most about being a teacher and called worker: Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” I love sharing Jesus with his little children and seeing the lightbulb moments in their eyes when they connect all the things Jesus has done for them to their lives. 

Your message to parents considering St. Paul’s school: St. Paul’s Lutheran School provides a solid education for its students both academically and spiritually. Everything we do at St. Paul’s is Christ-centered and aimed toward helping each student succeed. The small class sizes allow teachers to give students more individual and small group instruction to meet each student’s ever-changing needs.
