I have been teaching in the Wauwatosa School District since 1995 in the Family and Consumer Science Dept.  I attended Mt. Mary University for my BA and earned an elementary k-12 certification from UW-Milwaukee.  I primarily teach Culinary Arts I and II, but I also teach our financial literacy course, Independent Living.  I am also one of the advisors of Key Club and coach Wauwatosa West's Culinary team.

I have 3 sons who all graduated from Wauwatosa West High School and my husband is a Wauwatosa East graduate.  When I'm not teaching, I enjoy baking, sewing, making jewelry and doing crossword puzzles.
