Marlene Torstenson
Hello!! I am Mrs. Torstenson. I have been working at Riverview since 1994 so this will be my 30th year here! I have an undergraduate degree in Child Development and Family Life from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. I then went to Augsburg College in Minneapolis for my Teaching Certification. My first job was teaching kindergarten here in Silver Lake. Later I went to UW-Whitewater for my master’s earning my Reading Teacher and Reading Specialist licenses.
I grew up outside of Minneapolis and moved to Twin Lakes 30 years ago. I have two amazing grown children and two golden retrievers. In my free time I enjoy hiking, kayaking, traveling and spending time with friends and family.
My goal as an educator is to create a safe place for students to learn and grow. This is accomplished through building relationships with my students. I am looking forward to another great year at Riverview!!
