I was born and raised in Montana. I graduated from Montana State University in 1989, moved to Hailey with my husband Max, and started teaching math at Wood River High School the same year. I taught high school math for 28 years in Hailey, courses from Foundations of Algebra to Geometry, Algebra Two to College Algebra and Pre-Calculus.  I taught as a dual credit instructor for the College of Southern Idaho for 13 of those years and served as the High School math department chair or co - chair for most of my teaching career.  I coached a flag team for 9 years as a beginning teacher and have enjoyed working with the Colla Voce choir  for the past 9 years.  I have enjoyed being active in my local teacher's association for the last few years.
