Why I Choose to Work at Nova
I choose to work at Nova because I value Nova's motto, “We learn not for school but for life.” As a math specialist I try to instill in students a love of learning math and an understanding of the importance of math in our lives outside of school.
Hobbies/Interests
My hobby is raising monarch butterflies in the summer time. My husband Jon and I enjoy kayaking lakes together. I like to hike on the North Shore of Lake Superior. I enjoy spending time with our daughter Anna who lives in Minneapolis. And I love to read a good mystery.
