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 third year at Big Sky High School.

Currently, I am teaching the following courses: 

TV & Podcasting 1 -- This is an introductory course for students interesting in Broadcast Journalism and Podcasting.

TV & Podcasting 2: Eagle TV This course is responsible for the school video broadcast program which will kick off Spring 2021.

Photography: This course introduces students to using DSLR cameras. The first half of the semester teaches students compositional rules for making a great photo. The second half of the semester gets kids off the auto mode and learning how to manually work the camera.

Newspaper: The Big Sky Sun Journal was on hiatus for the fall of 2020 due to COVID, but we hope to come back strong with a couple of issues in Spring 2021, and get back on a regular printing schedule in Fall 2021.

Yearbook: Yearbooks will be finished by April 2021 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.
