    • Open allClose all

    • 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.
