Why I choose to work at Nova
I am an educator who approaches her profession as a life-long learner. I am thrilled to be part of a learning community that embraces a rigorous curriculum alongside an emphasis on virtuous behavior and living. I look forward to being a contributing member of this dynamic, committed, and energetic community of families, staff and students.
Hobbies/Interests
Reading, tennis, yoga, geography, travel, being outside.
Family
My husband, John, attends the University of Minnesota’s Graduate School of Architecture. I grew up in the beautiful St. Croix River Valley town of Afton, and am fortunate that most of my family and close friends call St. Paul home.
Personal motto
“Trust in what you love. Continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go.” –Natalie Goldberg, American Writer
“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem.
But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world, and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” –E.B. White
