Hello!  I am so happy that you stopped by.  I love teaching and could not be more happy to be teaching first grade at Rattlesnake School.  I have worked at Rattlesnake School for the last couple of years in a variety of different positions.  I started as a substitute teacher and then quickly fell into a para-educator position where I worked one on one with a student.  After that I worked as a Behavior Specialist within the school.  I also had an after school kid's yoga class for a short amount of time.  This January I started teaching first grade.  I taught in Santa Barbara, California prior to moving to Missoula where I taught K-2 for over 12 years.  I am grateful that my path has lead me back into the classroom.  I am thankful for all of these experiences and the opportunity to get to know the students and staff of Rattlesnake School.  I am particulary happy to be teaching first grade as it is my favorite grade and the one where I have the most experience.
