Ringelspaugh taught high school English in a small, rural district for over a decade.  While teaching at the secondary level, she participated in leadership committees, hosted student teachers, and served as an instructional coach.  In 2016, she joined the English department at UWSP to work with the students learning to be English teachers.  She most loves being in the classroom with students of all ages.

Ringelspaugh loves to read pretty much anything, walk the Green Circle Trail, and quilt blankets she promptly gives away.  She hates ladybugs and is totally freaked out by hail.  She is almost always cold but hates wearing shoes.  She is the mom of two small humans.  Her favorite superhero is Super Grover.

Any day is a good day when I get to spend it with students.

I hope students come away from my classes with a lifelong love of reading and writing, even if they didn’t especially enjoy reading and writing before the class began. I hope they find their own voice and identity as readers, writers, and teachers.  I hope they feel empowered to make a difference in the world through their teaching, analysis, and words.
