“Based on Yushiko Uchida's personal experiences, this is the moving story of one girl's struggle to remain brave during the Japanese internment of World War II. In a bleak and dusty prison camp, eleven-year-old Yuki and her family experience both true friendship and heart-wrenching tragedy. JOURNEY TO TOPAZ explores the consequences of prejudice and the capacities of the human spirit. First published in 1971, this book is now a much loved and widely read classic.”

I have worked with students in traditional and immersion class settings at the elementary, secondary and post-secondary levels since 1995. I hold French, German and Education degrees from Concordia College, a degree in Elementary Education from the College of St. Thomas, and a Teaching and Technology certificate from Hamline University. I spent several years studying and working in Europe, experiences which highlighted the importance of communication and understanding between cultures and inspired my career in education.
In addition to teaching, I am pursuing a Master of Library and Information Science at St. Catherine University. I attend Peace Education workshops through World Citizen and am a member of several professional organizations.
My path to peace is engaging students in the idea of community, helping students discover their personal strengths, and empowering students to apply these gifts in order to make a positive difference in each of their communities.
