Grades 3-4
	Experience: One semester before college graduation, I went to Renqiu, China to teach for two years. I came back to the USA and graduated with a B.A. from Martin Luther College in 2005. Upon graduation, I taught in Hong Kong for six months and in Shijiazhuang, China for one year. This is my first full year back in the USA and at Resurrection Lutheran.

I am called by Christ Our Rock to serve on the Preschool Committee.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and baking, shopping, listening to music, watching football, basketball, and playing softball. I also enjoy studying Chinese and traveling.

I grew up in North Saint Paul, MN. I have traveled to numerous states in the U.S. and have been to mainland China and Hong Kong. I hope someday to go to Australia, India, and parts of Europe.

My parents currently live in Forest Lake, MN. My dad works for the American Red Cross and my mom works at St. John's Hospital. I have an older sister who is teaching in Arizona and a younger brother who works at Premier Marine.
