This is my twentieth year in education. Before coming to MCPS, I taught grades 9-12 in Anchorage, Alaska. After moving to Missoula in 2011, I spent three years at Lewis & Clark Elementary, as both the Families in Transition Coordinator and the director of the Family Resource Center. I have also been a private tutor for students in gifted education/ACT preparation and am proud to work as a new-teacher mentor for MCPS.

My true joy is being in the classroom, however, and I have been incredibly fortunate to have spent the last six years teaching 9th and 10th grade English at Sentinel High School as well as English IV, AP Literature and Composition, and Creative Writing at Missoula Online Academy. This year, you can find my classroom in the 500 building, near the bus loop behind the main building.
