Location Edina, Minnesota, United States
Introduction I have been working at EHS for 8 years and have been fortunate to teach a wide variety of courses in my tenure at Edina including: AP American Lit, American Lit, Contemporary Lit, Public Speakng, Enriched English 10, and English 10. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and my Master's in Teaching from the University of St. Thomas. I love my job and the opportunity it affords me to interact with kids and help them to become more critical thinkers and better writers. In my time outside of school, I love to go to movies and the Guthrie. I am an avid backpacker and camper and have recently started competing in triathlons. Reading is also a favorite, but that sort of goes without saying. I am married to a gregarious guy named Erik and have two active and talkative children named Owen (5) and Ava Belle (3).
Favorite Movies Star Wars(the original), Princess Bride, Schindler's List, E.T., When Harry Met Sally, Shawshank Redemption, Sixteen Candles, Finding Nemo, Pulp Fiction
