Education: BA in 5-12 Social Studies Teaching; Minor in Lutheran Confessionalism; Lutheran Classroom Teacher Certified; MN Teaching License in 5-12 Social Studies Teaching.

Child Care Experience: I have worked at HNCCCC since August of 2003. I started as an Aide and worked my way up to Teacher, and became Director in January of 2009. I also worked as an Assistant Teacher at Hand in Hand Child Care while in college.

Personal History: I was born in Berlin, WI, but grew up in New Hope, MN, along with my older sister and younger brother. I graduated from Cooper High School in 2004 and received my BA from Concordia University, St. Paul in 2008. In 2013, I married my husband, Mike, and in 2017 we welcomed our son, Cameron, to our family. We own a home in Savage and share it with our three cats, Crush, Phoebe, and Sasha.

Hobbies: I love spending time with my husband and son. I love playing volleyball and working out (maybe don’t love that one so much…). I enjoy reading, and snuggling with my husband and kittens watching movies. Evenings and dinners out with my friends and weekends at the cabin are a must! Why I Like Working at HNCCCC: I love working at Holy Nativity because I am in the capacity to better the lives of our children and families by bringing them to Christ!
