Favorite childhood memory: When I was 10, we took a family driving trip from N.D. to Southern California and stayed with some cousins who had a big house and pool! We did all of the fun Disney stuff and swam in the ocean. Positive influence: My Grandmother and her daughters (including my mother) have shown me what joy and peace come to a person when they have a deep faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. My Dad taught me a great work ethic and a love of family. What I like best about teaching: I really enjoyed subbing last year in music and working with the children's choir-they all have so much to offer in the form of their musical abilities and I look forward to helping them become even better!
