When we first arrived, I started working as a substitute teacher at the Babbitt-Embarrass school. During my educational adventure, I commuted to Itasca Community College for a year to instruct speech communications courses. In 2006, I was hired by St. Louis County Schools-ISD2142 as the Community Education Coordinator for the Babbitt-Embarrass area and have been here ever since. In 2010, I started the Northeast Range Community Theatre Program. This program has given me the opportunity to enjoy my calling. The focus of the theatre program is to provide students and community members with the opportunity to be involved with quality fine arts. I am actively directing two plays per year and teaching a variety of acting classes that are open to students and community members alike. I thoroughly love my job and working with the wonderful people in this part of Northern Minnesota. Obtaining my teaching license as we speak, wish me luck.
