I am proud to say that my teaching career began in Wauwatosa in 1988. I previously taught at Jefferson, Whitman, and Wilson and have had the pleasure of teaching at Underwood since 1997. I graduated from UW-Madison in 1988 with a degree in Elementary Education and received my Masters in Reading from Cardinal Stritch University in 1993. I believe that children learn best in a classroom that encourages active participation. I also believe that all children can achieve success when parents and teachers work together.
