First and foremost, Jodi is wife to a wonderful husband and a mom to two beautiful children.  She graduated from the University of Minnesota with an English Degree, then continued with secondary education courses at SUNY Brockport.  Jodi then had the privilege of teaching middle school English at Roth Middle School in Rochester, NY - don't let anyone tell you differently, middle school kids are great! She couldn't be more excited to be writing parenting and education stories for Minnetonka Patch.
