Experience
I taught for 22 years as an elementary teacher in Minnetonka School District, initially in the third and fourth grades and later in first grade. I interrupted teaching for a time to raise my four children, taught preschool for 5 years at All Saints Preschool in Minnetonka, and then went back into elementary teaching until retiring from Minnetonka and moving to Buffalo. I worked as a part time physical fitness coach for 3 years and a volunteer in Same Day Surgery in Buffalo Hospital. But I felt the need to get back with children and started teaching preschool at BUMC in 2008. Since then I have taken Director responsibility in addition to teaching the 3 year old class. I continue to volunteer at the hospital, as I enjoy the interaction with the the patients and staff.
Favorite Bible Verse
“Let the little children come unto me for of such is the kingdom of God.” Mathew 19:14
Faith Statement
I believe that my daily life should reflect my faith, so by teaching in the preschool, I can freely share my faith in God with little ones in what I say and do. I feel privileged to lay a faith foundation in this way.
