This is my 23rd year teaching! Time flies when you're having a blast!
I grew up in Maine and attended the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Go Tar Heels! After graduating, I moved to Washington DC to teach Middle School Spanish for three years. Next, I moved to New York City where I taught 5th grade. My husband and I moved to Helena in 2004 and I taught a 4th/5th grade combination class. Twelve years ago, we moved with our three beautiful kids and two energetic dogs to Missoula. I taught at Garden City Montessori for two years then I moved over to Paxson to teach first, fourth, and now second grades!
I am so honored to be here. Paxson is my neighborhood school. I know it's a great learning community because my own children went here!
