      About Me

      Greetings!!!!!! I am very excited to be a part of the Meadowbrook Elementary School Community. I have been with Meadowbrook as a School Counselor since January 2015. Prior to this I was a Lead Behavior Analyst at the Minnesota Autism Center. I have an Master of Arts degree in counseling from Adler Graduate School and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. I am a member of the  American School Counselor Association and the Minnesota School Counselors Association.

      On a personal note- I am married with 2 children, a 4 year old girl (Lillian) and an 8 month old girl (Aurora). I enjoy traveling, reading, zumba and spending time with friends and family.

          Kindergarten

          I have an assistant to help me teach our Kindergarteners! His name is "I-Care Cat!"


          Together, I-Care Cat and I teach the kids about listening to each other, using their hands for helping, using I-Care language, caring about each other's feelings, and being responsible!

              I focus on building self-esteem with our second graders! I believe that if students feel good about who they are, they will be kind to others!
