This is my 7th year at Chief Charlo, and my 17th year teaching. I grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and graduated from Shippensburg University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Minor in Early Childhood. After moving to Missoula in 2005, I took graduate level course and received my Special Education Endorsement from the University of Montana. I have previously taught Fifth Grade, Physical Education K-8, Special Education K-5, and Gifted Education 2-5 and Third Gade.

My favorite sport is football and I am a HUGE Philadelphia Eagles football fan! Other hobbies of mine include hanging out with my husband and little baby, hiking and backpacking, rafting, random crafts & projects, and spending time with my family & friends, especially my husband and son, Brock.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. I believe it is truly important to keep the lines of communication open and work as a team. I’m always open to chat and would love to hear from you.You can contact me by email at
