Welcome to Big Sky High School Journalism and Media Arts. 

I have been a teacher in the Missoula County Public School District since 1998 and this is my fourth year at Big Sky High School. I received my undergraduate degree from Pacific Lutheran University in Secondary Education: English and Language Arts with certifications in English, Drama, Speech and Journalism and a minor in Spanish.

I hold a master's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from Kent State University and a master's degree in English from the University of Montana. 

Currently, I am teaching the following courses: 

TV 2: Eagle TV This course is responsible for the school video broadcast program, a bi-weekly news magazine program for the school audience. You can find us at BSHS Eagle TV to catch up on any missed episodes.

TV 3: Media Capstone

Newspaper: We will be publishing quarterly newspapers this year, with plans to double production in 2023.

Yearbook: Yearbooks will be finished by April 2022 and should be delivered by the end of May. There is still time to purchase one for $80 cash or check made out to Big Sky High School or online at https://yearbookforever.com/

I am also the Business Department Chair, co-adviser of Business Professionals of America, the head boys and girls tennis coach, and a mom of three teenage girls.
