My name is Laura Saumer and this is my 3rd year at St. Joseph's. I am newly married and reside in St. Paul with my husband who just completed his Law Degree from the University of St. Thomas. I am a graduate of the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University with a degree is Music Performance (French horn) and K-12 Education. After graduating from college I taught music, band and choir in Fisher, MN.
Besides teaching, I also stay active in the performance community and play French horn with the Northern Symphony Orchestra. I also enjoy playing piano and accompanying at weddings and masses and also volunteering with Saint Joseph's Youth Group and SJY Praise. I started quilting a few years ago and enjoy making and piecing together quilts, bags and other accessories.
I am very excited to be at St. Joseph's again this year!
