I was raised in the Flathead Valley and attended local schools. I graduated from Flathead High School and graduated from Montana State University with a bachelor's degree in communications. After college I moved to Seattle with friends and met my husband, Brad. He's a third generation Eastern Montanan and we have been married 31 years. We were fortunate to have been able to return to Montana in 1999 and raise our four children. Our family enjoys outdoor activities, many sports, community events, and time with friends. I began as a substitute teacher for Cayuse Prairie in 2003 and have appreciated the opportunity to be part of such an amazing staff. This will be my 12th year as a Paraprofessional.
