I’ve been proud to call Coeur d'Alene High School home the last two years, as this is where I have the pleasure to work alongside an amazing community of students and staff. I grew up in Wallace, Idaho—referred to as the "center of the universe"—which will always hold a special place in my heart. After graduating from Wallace High School, I went on to attend Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, where I earned degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice with an emphasis in law enforcement. It was at LCSC that I met my incredible husband, and I’m grateful for the lifelong friendships and experiences that LC brought me.
After completing my undergrad, I pursued a Master's degree in School Counseling at Gonzaga University (Go Zags!), which solidified my passion for supporting students through their academic, social, and emotional challenges.
When I’m not at school, I’m at home with my two fur babies, Peach and Ollie. I also enjoy roaming the isles of T.J. Maxx with a coffee in hand—one of my favorite ways to unwind!
My "Why": I am deeply committed to being an advocate for students. I believe every student deserves a trusted adult to turn to, and I strive to be that person at Coeur d'Alene High. It’s a privilege to help guide students toward success and to be a resource in times of need. My goal is to ensure each student feels seen, supported, and empowered to reach their fullest potential.
