I grew up in Wauwatosa and attended Roosevelt Elementary, Longfellow Jr. High, and Wauwatosa East High School. After graduating from the University of LaCrosse, I completed my student teaching overseas in New Zealand. I've been teaching at Whitman since 1987 and have taught both 7th and 8th graders. I currently teach 8th grade CPM math, Algebra, and Reading. In addition, I have my Master's Degree in Education. My interests include making wheel-thrown pottery, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
