Professionally:
I graduated from Whitnall High School in 1995. I then attended the University of Wisconsin-Platteville where I received my bachelors degree in Elementary Education(1-9) and Spanish in May of 2000. In 1998 I spent a summer in Seville, Spain learning about the culture and taking classes. I student taught in the Menomonee Falls district in Spanish and 1st grade. This experience allowed me to return to Spain in the summer of 2001 with Menomonee Falls High School students. I then began my teaching career at Lake Denoon and taught there for six years until moving over to Bay Lane Middle School. Through the years I have taught Foreign Cultures, Spanish, Reading & Writing, 7th and 8th grade Social Studies and 6th grade Academic Literacy. In 2001, I went back to school and obtained my masters degree in Professional Development from the University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse in December of 2002. I coached softball at Muskego High School for 5 years, three years at the freshman level, and two years at the Junior Varsity(JV) level. I was also the Odyssey of the Mind Building coordinator at Lake Denoon Middle School for 3 years.
