I am a Montana native, born and raised. I was raised in Hot Springs, MT on our family ranch, in which we had a cow/calf operation. I rode horses, was active in 4-H, and helped on the family ranch pretty much my whole life. I think my favorite part was driving our John Deere tractors in the fields doing the ranching work, never really enjoying changing the landlines (but dad always seemed to make this fun!)
I am an experienced school administrator with experience in a classroom with multiple grades, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I look forward to teaching, and living, here in The Yaak!
Having held multiple jobs over my time on this earth, I would have to say that a favorite experience that I had was when I did an internship in Florida. Let me explain, I got to spend time at Walt Disney World as a cast member in Animal Kingdom! I met all kinds of wonderful people in that role, and I made wonderful memories!
I look forward to making more memories during my time at the Yaak Elementary School! I am eager to meet you and am grateful for the opportunity to work with your students. Please come say hello.
