I am so excited to be teaching 8th Grade Social Studies and HPE at Washington Middle School this year. Originally from Billings, I fell in love with Missoula and all it's outdoor adventures when I attended the University of Montana. I graduated from UM with a degree in Elementary and Special Education and am currently working on my masters. 

When I am not in the classroom, I am backpacking the Bob Marshall or the Beartooth Mountains. I also enjoy cooking and spending time with my large extended family here in Missoula. I cannot wait for a year of exploration and discovery with the Washington Middle community.
