I grew up in the Black Hills, SD and moved to Missoula for a new life chapter and fell in love with Missoula and all that Montana has to offer.

This year I will be teaching ELA, Social Studies, and Health. I have a bachelor's degree in K-8 Education, a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and a master's degree in Instructional Design. I love this profession and am beyond excited to begin my 12th year of teaching and my second year at Washington Middle School. My passions beyond teaching include reading, biking, running, and recently, bike packing! I am looking forward to a great school year together.
