About Mrs. Krohn - I am originally from Hampstead, Maryland. As a student I attended Sacred Heart Middle School, Mercy High School, and graduated college from the University of Mary Washington. I received my Bachelor's Degree in English and a license in Secondary Education in 2005. I moved to Iowa after graduating college to be closer to my then fiance, now husband. St. Patrick's was my first teaching position and I have taught here for the past seven years. In 2009, my husband and I welcomed our first child, George. In my spare time, I am kept busy by my son and by attending many sporting events coached by my husband. In the quiet evenings I can be found curled up reading a good book. My family and I also enjoy traveling to Maryland on a regular basis.
