Hi! I’m Tonya Edwards. I’m a born and raised Wisconsinite, spending most of my life in Madison and the surrounding communities. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and another in Elementary Education. I have 5 years of teaching experience in the elementary and middle school grades. I am a mom to two  wonderful children, Abigail and Carter. Some of my hobbies include running, reading, shopping, and watching the Badgers and Packers play football.

I received my degree in Early Childhood Education with a minor in English as a Second Language from the UW-Stevens Point. I have taught at all levels PreK-2nd grade over my 20-year career. I am a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church and a 1984 graduate of Trinity Lutheran School.
