ABOUT ME: Although I live in Minnesota now, I grew up in California and attended Brigham Young University in Utah. While at BYU, I met my husband, the incredible Dr. Robertson. He attended medical school at UT Southwestern in Dallas, where we lived for 4 years, picking up two dogs, Penny and Lincoln, while we were there. We made our way up to the Twin Cities for General Surgery Residency and think we might stay here forever!
EDUCATION: I graduated from Brigham Young University (GO COUGARS!!!) having earned a Bachelor of Science in Family Life with an emphasis in Human Development. Essentially, I studied the cognitive, social, and emotional development of children, adolescents, and adults, as well as the psychology of relationships amongst individuals and families. As you can imagine, it comes in handy :) After we moved to Texas, I found my true passion in teaching English Language Arts. I went back to school at UT Dallas and earned my teacher certification in English Language Arts and Reading 4-8. In order to become licensed to teach in Minnesota, I had to have a provisional license for a year and pass their MTLE teacher licensure exams.
FAVORITE GENRES: Historical Fiction & Nonfiction
ALL-TIME FAVORITE BOOKS: The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani, & Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
