I graduated from Saint Louis University in May with degrees in Public Health and International Studies. I'm a born and raised Minnesotan and I love hockey, being outside, summer bonfires, snowy winters and the Golden Gophers. I live in St. Paul with my girlfriend and our spoiled cat Quincy, but I love going to my parents' house  in the suburbs to spend time outside playing with our dog Cal. I am passionate about early childhood education and development, and I think that the best ways to teach kids are to let them be kids. I look forward to spending time in all the classrooms, especially outside. In my free time you can find me reading, hammocking, or trying new food around the Twin Cities.
