Bio

Welcome!
 
I am starting my second year at Athlos and look forward to meeting all of the students in my classrooms this year! Before coming to Athlos, I received my BA from the University of MN Duluth in Kinesiology. Outside of my experience working at Athlos, I have had years of experience working with children from birth to 2nd grade through working in a home daycare. 
 
When I am not working, I enjoy doing anything outside with my friends and my puppy. I spend a lot of time traveling in the summer months and doing activities that get me out of my comfort zone. I also enjoy spending my time growing various plants and biking long distances. 
 
I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us!
