I was born in Glasgow Montana but raised in Great Falls, graduating from GFHS. After high school I traveled and started a family before returning to school at age 30 to earn my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.

I later earned a Masters of Education in Reading and literacy in 2006 and am working on a certificate in web design. I believe that everyday is a new opportunity to learn- be it little thing or very important.

I enjoy reading, writing poetry, journaling, photography, biking, building web pages and spending time with my family.
