I worked my summers as a Wildland Firefighter/ EMT-B until 2006. In 2006 I spent half of a summer working as a lookout for the Bitterroot National Forest. I then went on to work for the Forest Service in a new capacity in Recreation as a Rec-Tech. I student-taught here at Victor School in the Fall of 2004. I then continued to do volunteer work here at the school. I started my first year teaching in September of 2005 at Victor School.
I currently teach for the Bozeman School District. I am currently a 3rd grade teacher at Meadowlark Elementary. I have taught 3rd grade for three years. I was a 5th grade, 6th grade teacher and Native American Education Coordinator for Victor School. I look forward to creating a cooperative, positive working environment for my students!
I have a loving husband of six years. We met on a fire some fifteen years ago. We were friends for five years, before dating. We now have a family that consists of a little girl who is eight and two wonderful dogs (a Saint Bernard and a Golden Retriever).
My family and I are very active, out going people. We enjoy most outdoor activities. I really enjoy hiking. I like to spend my winters on the ski hill. I snowboarded for 10 yrs and switched to skiing eight years ago, what a wonderful sport! I am a canner and berry picker too. I also love traveling. I have visited Costa Rica, Italy, and Thailand.
