I was born and raised in Flagstaff where I attended Kindergarten through my senior year of high school in the Flagstaff Unified School District.  Recently, I became a new mom to a beauiful little girl, Sadie. I enjoy the outdoors; anything from soccer, skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing, hiking, Crossfit, disk golf, camping, hiking, and running. Other things I enjoy are singing, playing the guitar and learning the banjo ( Sometimes you can find Mrs. Krause singing with a local reggae band at music in the park in the summertime). I am eager to learn about different cultures and travel when I can. What I absolutely LOVE the most, is teaching. I can truly say I enjoy teaching every subject area because in the end, they all relate to each other.
