About me
I was born and raised all over Montana, graduated from Montana state university in Bozeman in 1996 and have been teaching preschool through 2nd grade ever since. I love spending time with my husband and 2 boys (Jason works at AMC and Erik headed to Oregon State Univ). In my time away from school, I enjoy reading, sewing, camping, and playing games with my family.
