I moved to the Wood River Valley in 1988. I graduated from Wood River High School. I received a Bachelor of Science in Child Development from the University of Idaho (Go Vandals!). I went on to live in Portland, OR and work at OHSU's Children's Hospital after receiving my Child Life Specialist certificate. This beautiful valley called me back!   I went back to school to get my K-8 teaching certificate from Western Governors and am currently finishing up my masters in school counseling. I have been working for BCSD since 2008. I worked at WRHS in the SPED department as a paraprofessional, I taught 4th and 5th grades and Bellevue Elementary, I taught math at WRMS and am currently a school counselor at WRMS!

When not at school, you can find me hiking, biking, skiing and enjoying our amazing valley with my two teenagers.  I have a son in high school, a daughter in middle school and a dog named Sage.
