I have an Undergraduate B.S. degree in Elementary Education with PK -6 certification from Bemidji State University.  I earned my Master’s in Education with a Reading Endorsement at Concordia University in St. Paul. 

I am married and have 3 adult children.  Our oldest son lives in Charleston, West Virginia, and works as a TV sports anchor.  Our other son and his wife live in White Bear Lake with their three darling daughters.  Our daughter and her family live in the Seattle area.  My husband and I currently have six grandchildren.  We enjoy spending time visiting our children and grandchildren in their various locations.  We certainly miss the ones that are so far away, but are excited they are all following their dreams!
