I'm excited about returning to Big Sky for the 24-25 school year. This will be my 6th year at BSHS and my 8th year of teaching. 

I am originally from Salmon, ID. I came to Missoula to attend the University of Montana and fell in love. I earned a bachelor's in journalism at the university, and then decided to pursue my passion for teaching science. I returned to earn a bachelor's in biology and a master's in education. I've spent time teaching in both Washington and Idaho but am so happy to be back here in Missoula.

I enjoy reading fantasy novels, attempting to garden, raising my children, and spending time in the beautiful Montanan outdoors.
