Hello St. Dominic families! I am excited to begin the new school year with your children. This will be my sixth year as a part of the St. Dominic staff and my third year teaching in the Pre-K classroom.
My family and I moved to Northfield from Northern Wisconsin in 2019. We currently live out near Circle Lake. My Husband, Jim, is employed at Community Resource Bank. This summer, we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. Together, we have raised three wonderful children. Vanessa, my oldest daughter, is a Physician Assistant employed with UM-fairview at the Prior Lake clinic. My other two children, Erica and Evan, attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Both are enrolled in the college of engineering.
I, too, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison! (Go Badgers!) I received my BA degree in psychology and a certificate in gerontology. My first employment opportunities allowed me to work with older adults and their families in the long term care and senior housing industry. After 15 years, I decided to try something new and began my second career in education. I have taught 4 and 5 year olds in both public and private school settings and have loved each and every connection made with my students and their families. This year will mark my 14th year of being in the classroom! I look forward to meeting you, and developing a strong relationship with your child that will help them succeed in PreK.
It is going to be an awesome year learning and growing together!
