Mrs. Holmberg’s desire to be an educator started at a very early age. It was at her kindergarten graduation that she proudly announced to everyone that she wanted to be a teacher or dance on Broadway when she was older. Although her competitive dance career ended when she finished college, her passion for teaching was really just beginning to blossom. Mrs. Holmberg graduated cum laude from Florida Atlantic University with a B.A. in Elementary Education and then went on to receive her M.A. in Teaching and Learning, with a concentration in Elementary Reading, from Nova Southeastern University.
She was very fortunate to teach in a wonderful New Jersey school district for almost 12 years before taking some time off to raise her three boys. After seven years at home, focusing solely on her family, Mrs. Holmberg knew it was time to get back in the classroom. Her family feels so blessed to have found OLMC and that she was given the opportunity to become part of the incredible faculty at just the right time.
She has a special appreciation for the beauty of nature and all that God has created for us in this world, especially Monarch butterflies. Mrs. Holmberg has raised, tagged, and released them with her students in the past as part of the Monarch Watch conservation and research program. It brings her great joy to continue to carry on that tradition at home with her own children.
In her free time, she and her husband can be found at the baseball field cheering on their boys as they compete for their league and tournament titles. When she isn’t busy doing that, she loves to spend time with her extended family, enjoy a delicious dinner at a nice restaurant, or stick her toes in the sand and listen to the crashing of the ocean waves.
