I have been employed by Sauk Centre Public Schools since 2005. From 2005 until 2013 I worked as a computer lab assistant. In 2013 after receiving my degree in computer & networking I accepted the technology coordinator position. Being the technology coordinator allows me to do what I am passionate about - working with students and technology. 

Education/Certification:
2012 - Computer & Network Technology
2012 - Cisco Networking Certificate 
2016 - Certified G Suite Administrator 
2016 - Level 1 Google Certified Educator 

I began my teaching career in Sauk Centre in 2012. Until the fall of 2016, I was known as Teacher Beth! I enjoyed four years of teaching in our preschool program and moved to second grade in 2016. I love every part of teaching, but creating a positive environment and fostering a love of learning is most important to me. When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, knitting, camping, and drinking coffee..

I started working with ISD 743 as a Substitute Teacher in the Spring of 2022 and became the Technology Support Specialist towards the end of 2022. I was familiar with the district having graduated from Sauk Centre Secondary in 2016. After graduation, I attended Minnesota State University, Mankato and graduated with a Social Studies Teaching BS in 2019. While I was attending university, I worked as an IT Support Consultant where I specialized in classroom support. I discovered my passion extended to technology as well as education - making this position perfect for me.

When I can, I enjoy time with my wife (Anna), daughter (Maisie), and 2 Australian Shepherds (Link and Zelda). We cook a lot of international foods and we are always trying new recipes. If I get time to myself I will be found in our game room, playing video games on PC, a handheld, or playing retro games on an old CRT TV.
