(formerly Brianna Knudtsen)
I was born and raised in Coeur d'Alene, and I graduated from Coeur d'Alene High School in 2009 - once a Viking, always a Viking! After student teaching here in the fall of 2013 and teaching part-time during spring 2014, I came on full-time as a part of the science department in fall 2014 - this is definitely where I belong! During my time at CHS I have taught Math Boost, Physical Science, Chemistry, Honors Physics, and AP Physics 1. I am truly passionate about science, and I hope to help my students connect and engage with the subjects I teach through collaborative activities and hands-on inquiry investigations.
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, feel free to contact me via email (see link below). Let's make this a great year!
GO VIKS!
