I am originally from the South Shore of Massachusetts. I moved to Idaho after graduating from Boston College with a degree in Elementary Education, and I have been teaching 6th grade in the Blaine County School District since 1995. I have always enjoyed working with children and making connections with them that extend beyond the classroom walls. In addition to teaching, I also love the outdoors and coaching. I have coached both soccer and hockey in the valley for many years and in my free time enjoy mountain biking, hiking and skiing. I feel extremely lucky to live and work in such a wonderful community.
