Most recently, Julie has spent the last 5 years teaching preschool. She earned a Masters in Education degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Colorado-Denver.The love of adventure and travel has brought Julie and her family to many countries throughout the world,including a memorable year living in a castle in Scotland. Self-professed Disney fanatics, any opportunity to visit the Mouse House is a family celebration. Summer weekends are usually spent on the lake, while winter is spent counting the days until summer! In her free time, she enjoys reading and listening to most genres of music (with the exception of rap and opera...sorry! However, Polka is a WI birthright!)Born and raised in Wisconsin, she is a proud member of the Cheese head fandom...GO PACK!! You really have not experienced a charcuterie board until it includes a selection of the finest cheese curds (aka“squeaky cheese”) and lefse! Her love of learning and sharing in the natural curiosity of her students is what continues to propel her to education each year! She is thrilled to be back at Channing Hall where it all began!!
