SPECIAL SKILLS

If she wasn't in education, she would work at the Magic Kingdom...or Epcot. It's a toss-up.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT PACT

The character traits leading the way! Teaching character with a monthly focus helps with building students' social and emotional skills. It shows the commitment to turning out quality citizens who contribute to society in a positive way. This sets PACT apart.

LIFE OUTSIDE PACT

  • She is married to Dan, her high school sweetheart. Dan is equally excited about charter schools and the opportunity for parents to have a say in their children's education.
  • She has two college-age boys. 
  • Loves hockey! She does not play it but loves to watch it.
  • Diehard football fan! Loves the Minnesota Gophers and the Green Bay Packers. 
  • Disney Freak! Enjoy collecting cell production from the older movies – and it is where they take their annual family vacations. 
  • She commutes a lot, so enjoys Audible books.
