My Hometown
Plymouth, MN

How I Came to BlueSky
I was substitute teaching around the metro area, and saw a job posting for a social studies teacher at an online school. I applied, and was hired… as a special education teacher (and part-time social studies teacher).

My Passions as an Educator
I want my students to be aware of what’s going on in the world, and to realize that the past, present, and future are connected. “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes” -Mark Twain

My Passions and Hobbies
Curling, Overwatch, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
