I'm excited and honored to be entering my 9th year of teaching at Jeannette Rankin Elementary.  I previously taught 3rd grade in Houston, Texas.  I graduated from Montana State University (GO CATS!), and have a Masters in Art Integration from University of Montana. 

My husband Kevin and I have been married for 23 years and have lived in Missoula the past 16 years.  We have two daughters:  Hailey is a junior at Sentinel High School and Sydney is a 8th grader at CS Porter.  As a family we love being outdoors, playing boardgames, skiing, camping, and softball.
