I love to be outdoors and do adventurous things. This summer I traveled through 9 states on the way to and back from the West coast. I did a lot of hiking, explored 2 different caves, visited 6 waterfalls, and had a bunch of fun. I am a big Minnesota sports fan and will always cheer on the Vikings, Timberwolves, Lynx, Twins, and especially the Wild. I also love to read, my favorite author is Rick Riordan who wrote the Percy Jackson series.
I am originally from Clearwater MN where I grew up with my parents and 2 sisters, Jennie and Lindsey. We had a bunch of fun growing up and spending the a lot of time on the lake. Jennie is now married to Matt and they live in Sourth Carolina. Lindsey is engaged to her fiance Tommy and they live in Sartell. My mom is a retired teacher and my dad works as a business manager and they still live in Clearwater. I went to high school at Annandale High school, where I played football and won 3 state championships in track. After that I went to college at Minnesota State University Mankato. I graduated in 2010 with a bachelors of science in elementary education and a specialty in mathematics.
After I graduated I taught 5th grade for 5 years at Norman County West Elementary. I coached volleyball and track there and was named teacher of the year in 2014.
