I'm thrilled to be teaching 6th Grade English Language Arts here at Longfellow Middle School. I graduated from Wisconsin Lutheran College with a Bachelor of Arts in Education and a Language Arts Minor. I also have a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University. I've been teaching in the Wauwatosa School District since 2000. Students come to me with a wide variety of strengths, needs, interests, personalities, and backgrounds. I strive to provide a caring and supportive environment where students take risks, persevere through challenges, and progress in the areas of reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
