I’ve been part of the Oshki Ogimaag team since 2022 and currently serve as Assistant Director, SpEd Coordinator, Interventionist and Literacy Lead. I hold a BA in Philosophy from St. Catherine University and an MA in Family Life Education from Concordia University, St. Paul, with graduate research focused on Autism Spectrum Disorders. With nearly 30 years in education serving in roles from Teacher to Director, and as a parent of 6 unique learners, I believe learning should be inclusive, joyful and rooted in relationships. It’s an honor to serve Grand Portage and grow alongside students in our classrooms without walls.  My family lives in Grand Marais, and I find peace in cooking, enjoying a good movie, time with family and friends, nature walks, bonfires, and listening to the waves of Gichigami.
