Kindergarten Teachers

Welcome to Kindergarten, where each day is new and exciting! I am a native of New Richland and feel fortunate to raise our 3 boys here and teach in the NRHEG district. I taught for many years in Owatonna, but chose to return "home" in 2014. I value being able to watch my former students grow as they transition to the NR building, the benefits of a small community! While I strive to meet student goals in an ever changing world, relationships are very important to me. First and foremost, I hope my students always know:
1. I believe in you
2. I trust in you
3. You will be listened to
4. You are cared for
5. You are important
6. You're going to make mistakes, but you will succeed!

I have previously been the preschool teacher here at NRHEG and have been with the district since 2014. I graduated from MSU Mankato with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a pre- primary specialty. In my freetime, I love spending family time with my husband and our four daughters. I am looking forward to a wonderful year in Kindergarten!
