I have been teaching 7th grade Language Arts at Wood River Middle School since 1999 after earning my Master's in Education and Curriculum from Boise State University. My undergraduate degree is from the University of Vermont where I graduated with a BA in English in 1990. I have lived in the Wood River Valley since 1990 and currently live in Hailey. I LOVE reading and writing, and I feel lucky to share these interests with others. When I am not teaching, I am usually outdoors. Hiking, biking, camping, fly-fishing, and skiing are some of my favorite activities. Traveling is a huge passion and I have been fortunate to have traveled to many places around the world. I also stay very busy with my son, Alex, and my daughter, Kate. My husband and I find life crazy and busy...just how we like it!
