Education has always been an important part of who I am.  My mother was a 2nd grade teacher who shared her passion for education with my brother and me from a young age.  This passion eventually led me into public education as well.

I graduated from Viroqua High School in 1995.  I went on to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree (psychology) from UW-Eau Claire in 1999, followed by a Master’s of Science in Education (school psychology) from UW-La Crosse in 2000.  In 2001, I completed the School Psychology program at UWL and started my career in Amery, WI.  I moved to Onalaska and spent the next 5 years as the school psychologist in the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau School District.  I was then given the opportunity to transition into the Coordinator of Special Education/Pupil Services role.  I returned to UW-Eau Claire and earned the Director of Special Education and Pupil Services certificate.  I enjoyed providing leadership to the G-E-T School District for 9 years. In July of 2016, I began serving the students of the School District of Holmen as the Director of Student Services

My husband, Lance, and I have two young boys who attend Sand Lake Elementary School.  They keep us busy with various Holmen youth sports and local activities.  We have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the Holmen community and look forward to all of the wonderful opportunities to come

I have an open door policy and welcome communication and collaboration to continue building our programs and services to support student success.   Together, we can use our talents, skills and passion to engage, empower, and educate all students.
