I am originally from Manhattan, Montana, a small town near Bozeman. I moved to Missoula and graduated from the University of Montana with my degree in Elementary Education, an Endorsement in Reading, and a concentration in Music in 2011. I taught First Grade in Seeley Lake, then moved back to Missoula to join our team at Franklin Elementary. I love teaching at Franklin, our staff and students are amazing! When I'm not at school, I like to hike the many trails around Missoula, play in the sun and water, read, or ski in the winter.
