About Me

This will be my second year teaching as part of the Zoo Academy, but I'm excited for a great year! I am originally from Minnesota, and I have taught in schools around Minnesota, China, and now Nebraska. My first emphasis was history, but am now a fully converted (reformed?) geographer. I am currently completing a Masters in Human Geography at the University of Nebraska Omaha, with a certificate in GIS. On the side I also run a geography education consulting business, and have recently published a high school level human geography textbook. 

Outside of school my interests are: playing Hockey, skiing, exploring/traveling, photography, reading, camping, kayaking, and watching sports (Especially Gophers Hockey!!)
