I have been with the New Prague School District since 1994, where I've taught both Kindergarten and 1st Grade. I have a masters degree from The University of St. Mary's, and received my undergraduate degree from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. My husband and I have been married for nearly 30 years. We live in Shakopee and have 2 children ages 22 and 20. Our son Simon graduated from the University of Minnesota last spring and is a mechanical engineer. Our daughter Emma is in her 3rd year of college at Purdue University in Indiana. She is studying industrial engineering. There is a chance you will meet them this year. They love kids and think that their Mom's job is super FUN!
