Social Studies


2010-2011 will be my third year teaching  ninth  grade Values at Cretin-Derham Hall.  In a past career, I was a real estate attorney for twelve years. But after working as a volunteer in the Minneapolis public schools for several years, substitute teaching and  leading a Girl Scout troop I knew my calling was to be working with students full time.  I have a passion for history, social justice, and world awaremess that I want to bring to the classroom and share with my ninth grade students.

10 Things  to know about  me:

1.  I have a family with a wonderful husband, two teenage daughters and a dog.
2.  My favorite place in the world is our cabin on the White Earth Reservation near Park Rapids.
3.  I love all types of music but have a soft spot for Led Zeppelin.
4.  In my garage I have a pottery wheel and a kiln.  Sometimes I feel artistic and throw pots.

6.  I sang in a rock band in college called "The Teachers from Detroit".
7.  Every summer my family goes canoeing in the Boundary Waters for a week.
8.  On Fridays, sometimes I like to start class with "Friday Dance Day".

10.  My favorite thing about Values class is hanging out with my "Breakout Group".
