Welcome to First Grade!  I am so excited to get the opportunity to work with your child!

I moved to Coeur d'Alene from Boise in 2016 and I love living here!  Prior to teaching in CdA, I taught in the Boise School District.  I have been teaching for 25 years.  After I graduated from the University of Redlands with a BA in Psychology, I went back to school to get my teaching credential.  I then went on to earn a Master's in Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Boise State University.   

I feel very fortunate to have landed at Fernan and to get the opportunity to work with the amazing staff and families of this school.  First Grade is an exciting year to watch your child grow in all areas.  It is fun to see them bloom into independent, confident thinkers!  I feel so lucky that I get to go on this journey with them.  It's going to be an amazing year!
