Elementary Principal (2nd-5th)

I am honored to introduce myself as the Elementary Principal of Coeur d’Alene Virtual Academy. As we launch into this hybrid experience I want to invite all in the community who are invested or interested in this endevlor to come, ask questions, give feedback and participate in a new opportunity to serve our community!

A little bit about myself. This is my 13th year in education. I graduated from the University of Montana and I started my teaching career in Great Falls, MT my hometown teaching Kindergarten. I moved just a year later to be with my now husband Greg. I got hired teaching first grade at Skyway Elementary. When I decided to get my Masters in Educational Leadership I made the move to teach 3rd grade. Our district then opened NExA, a project based learning school, and I joined that team as the Advanced Learning Teacher as well as the Title teacher. After a few years I had the opportunity to be the vice principal at NExA. Last year when this opportunity came up I was excited to try something new in my career.

I love this community and all it has to offer. My husband Greg and I have two children. Marcus and Emma. We love hiking, biking along the centennial trail, swimming in the lake, visiting the mountains in the winter, and being part of the vibrant community. When we are not on adventures our family is buried in books or playing music together. 

I believe not only in communities supporting education, but also in students building up their communities. Our school’s mission is to offer this balance of flexibility and inclusivity for all. Let’s have a great year together!
