- About Me
- Greetings! I am a School Improvement Specialist at ESA2 in South Dakota. I have been with ESA2 since August of this year. In my prior life I was an elementary and middle school teacher. After completing my MaEd I embarked on several different career paths which included serving as the Executive Director of a child abuse and sexual assault agency and the Education Director of a science, visual art and performing art museum. Although I enjoyed both of those careers very much I truly missed formal education and became part of the ESA2 team.
On a personal level, I am a sports fanatic! I lived most of my life in Nebraska and truly bleed red! I love the Cornhuskers. I spend the rest of my time cheering for the New York Giants and Milwaukee Brewers. My family consists of my better half, my 7 year old son, and my 5 year old daughter, my two dogs (who are miniature dachsunds), and a tank full of fish and snails. Fortunately, my family love sports just as much as me. But, when we aren't watching our favorite teams we like to spend time outdoors and playing games.
GO BIG RED!!
