I love the energy, enthusiasm and open-mindedness of middle school students. I enjoy spending time in classrooms, meeting with students, and collaborating with parents and teachers. During middle school, students become capable of learning more complex material. They also become increasingly independent and self-reliant. Middle school is an exciting and important time for students! I've worked in the White Bear Lake School District since 1994. I taught mathematics in the middle school and high school, then served as an associate principal at both campuses of the high school. I believe schools are most effective when school leaders work together with parents and teachers to help students succeed.

Middle school is such a pivotal time in the lives of students and their families. I am beyond excited to serve during the process. As the Dean of Sunrise Park middle school I am committed to upholding the school's values around creating a safe and equitable learning environment for all students. I have served as an educator for over 12 years and most recently as the district wide MTSS coordinator (Multi-tiered System of Supports) here in the WBLAS. My background is in equity and PBIS work (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports). I believe in proactive solutions that allow students the ability to maintain their dignity and unique characteristics! I look forward to the coming school year and being a part of the Sunrise Park Middle School family. Go Bears!!
