Welcome to Room 25!  I am thrilled to be here with you.  I am starting my 11th year at Breck - 10 years as a first grade teacher and 1 year as a substitute teacher.  Before coming to Breck, I taught in ECFE for 10 years and then my family moved overseas where both my husband and I taught in International Schools.  We have lived in New Delhi, India and Hong Kong.  I enjoy traveling and spending time at our cabin in Moose Lake.  I also enjoy reading, bike riding, cooking, scrapbooking, and spending time with my family.  I love teaching at Breck and being part of such a welcoming community.  I'm looking forward to a fantastic year.

I am so excited to be part of room 25! I recently graduated from the University of Northwestern – St. Paul after student teaching in this very room with Mrs. Murphy! I am originally from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin but Minneapolis is my favorite city! I enjoy yoga, reading, going on walks with my husky, Luna, exploring Chicago and finding new coffee places here in the cities. I love being a Mustang and I look forward to an amazing year in first grade J
