I grew up in this beautiful city by the lake, and I graduated from Lake City High School in 1997. Shortly after, I received my Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Idaho. Go Vandals! After graduating, I moved back to Coeur d'Alene and began teaching in the Coeur d'Alene School District. This will be my 22nd year teaching, and I love my job!

I met my husband at the University of Idaho, where we both studied to become educators. We have two amazing children.  Our sixteen-year-old daughter and eleven-year-old son are sports fanatics and love spending time at Priest Lake.

In my free time, I love to play outdoors with my family and friends. Running, mountain biking, skiing, and hiking are a few of my favorite activities.
