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!!
