I was born and raised in Minneapolis, MN and the middle child of three.  I moved away to attend college at Colorado State University where I earned my Bachelor's of Science degree in Microbiology.  It was here that I met my husband, Kevin, and then moved to Chicago where I graduated with a Master's in Physician Assistant studies.  We moved back to Colorado where I practiced medicine for several years.  

It was by chance we drove through the Flathead Valley on our way to vacation in Canada and fell in love with this area. We relocated here in 2005 and have been blessed with 4 wonderful children, ages 19, twins 17, and 15, all of whom graduated from Cayuse Prairie. The oldest is a sophomore at Montana State University and the other three attend Glacier High School.  My sister and her husand also live in the valley.  

In my spare time, I enjoy rafting, boating, skiing, and yard work.  I love watching my kids competitively swim and play soccer.  I am excited for what the years ahead have to offer and am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Cayuse Prairie community.
