My husband, Jason, and I celebrated 28 years of marriage this summer and are enjoying the start of our empty nester years.  We have 2 boys ages 23 and 20.  Our oldest chose the path of welding through the KTEC route, is now employed by a local company, and foreman of the welding crew in Thompson Falls, MT.  Our youngest is a sophomore at U of I and is studying to become a wildland firefighter with the ultimate goal of being a firefighter pilot.  

 

When not thinking about school, I love to hike and bike and kayak.  I am a North Idaho native, so having grown up in the area has taught me to love the outdoors and all the activities that come along with it.  This summer included 5 camping trips, one of which was a 14 mile backpacking trip.

 

I am embarking on my 17th year of teaching and am so pleased to be included amongst the great staff at Woodland as part of the English Languagae Arts team.
