I am originally from Montana, and moved to the Spokane area to be closer to my son, a Physician Assistant, and other family members.

I have lived in Spokane Valley for the past four years and have subbed in Special Education for the Central Valley School District. I taught in Montana for thirty years, twenty-five of those being special education. I have taught life skills classes, extended resource classes and resource classes K-12. I love teaching special education. I enjoy helping the student realize their potential. It is my mission as a teacher to help my students realize that through learning, they can enhance their live in a positive way. I want to help my student believe in themselves and through that belief, take on the challenges of life.
