I have taught 2nd and 3rd grade for over 6 years at a STEM school just outside the beautiful Twin Cities. I received a Master's in Teaching and Learning with a my research focusing on STEM integration in the classroom. I am currently the "technology mentor" for our staff and enjoy finding new/creative ways to incorporate technology to increase efficiency and engagement in the classroom.
I am in-between a type-A and type-B style of teaching! I believe it's crucial to be high energy, flexible and (for my own sanity) extremely organized (I'm working on it) I am passionate about incorporating STEM-based activities in the elementary classroom and especially mindful of the 4-C's.

In 2013, the city I teach in was named the "Best Place to Raise Kids in Minnesota" I love sports, the outdoors, music, and drinking coffee in the morning when it's about 60 degrees outside!
