Biography

This is my 12th year as an educator. My first 5 years were spent teaching the intermediate grades (grades 4, 5 and 6) for Bismarck Public Schools and then I went on to teach 2 years of gifted in Bismarck prior to coming to Fargo. I have been with Fargo Public Schools for the last 5 years both as a gifted services teacher and now most recently as a teacher specialist for FPS gifted services. I am a 1991 elementary education graduate of Concordia College, Moorhead, MN and completed my graduate degree in 2000 at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT in the field of gifted education.
