Profile
I was a social studies teacher in the Ashland School District for thirty-two years. After I retired from full-time teaching, I came to Northland to serve in the Teacher Education Program. Currently, I am a Senior Educator teaching several courses and working with student teachers.
I enjoy the outdoors: hunting, fishing, and canoeing. At home, we raise a garden, heat with wood, and live quietly on a old farm outside of Washburn. We have a golden retriever, Ani, who is a trained therapy dog.
