I grew up in the Wood River Valley and went to the Sun Valley Community School for 9th-12 grades.  I then attended Williams College in Western Massachusetts, where I studied Biology and liberal arts.  I moved to New York City for a couple of years after college, then moved back to Idaho, where I have been ever since.  Between adventure travel, backpacking, working, and family time, I continued studying science and earned my teaching degree at the University of Idaho.  I hope to pass on my knowledge of science and the natural world, and a bottomless curiosity about how things work to my students.  I also want them to be able to appreciate the fascinating details of this place we call home, and be prepared to be ridiculously successful in college, careers, and everyday life.  I want them to have lots of fun and be good to each other too.

My Office Hours are: 7:45-8:30 AM every day, and 3:35-4:00 PM M, T, Th, F
