I am a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. I have worked in public school systems since 2014 and am fortunate to be able to work at Wood River Middle School. I am originally from Wisconsin, grew up on the shoreline of Lake Michigan, and went to college on the banks of the Mississippi River. I have had the privilege of being able to spend most of my adult life doing different things in different places including being a sea kayak guide on the North Shore of Minnesota and an archery guide on a ranch in Southeast Wyoming. These experiences have given me a sense of adventure and exploration that I enjoy bringing into the classroom. When I am not teaching I enjoy hiking, biking, rock climbing, paddle sports, camping, and fishing in my free time.
