I'm excited to be returning to Big Sky for the 22-23 school year. This will be my 4th year at BSHS and my 6th 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 of teaching science. I return 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 back here in Missoula.

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