I am a teacher and author. I teach elementary school and inspire students to be the best versions of themselves. I use honesty and vulnerability in my writing as I describe how I have overcome cancer, MS, and other difficulties of life.
I received a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from Northwest Nazarene University in 1999 and a Master’s of Science in Science Education from Montana State University in 2017.
I understand how life rarely goes as planned and I am adept at finding a way through those difficulties. I have lived in southwest Idaho with my husband since 1996. I enjoy spending time with my 2 amazing daughters. I do everything in my power to stay active. Exercise and health are priorities in my day and I won’t miss an opportunity for some stand-up paddle boarding. Since 2007, my family has been vacationing in Newport, Oregon where I run on the beach and surf the waves as long as they aren’t too big and the sharks stay clear.
