Mrs. Schmidt grew up in Fond du Lac, WI, where she graduated from Winnebago Lutheran Academy in 1999. She graduated from Martin Luther College with a Bachelor’s degree and a music emphasis in 2003.  She began her teaching career in 2003 at Bethel Lutheran in Menasha.  In 2005, Bethel formed a partnership with Mt.

She enjoys spending time with her two step children, Christian and Ella, and three children Olivia, Luther, and Micah. She also enjoys watching sports, playing games, going for walks, and spending time at her in-laws cabin in northern Minnesota.
