I am an Iowa girl living and teaching in Miles City, Montana. My adventure began in Virginia Beach 30 years ago, and I have had the honor of teaching so many wonderful students since then. My path has not been straight, but full of adventures. Teaching to me is learning daily just as my students do in my classroom. I have taught in five different states with experience in most grades between Kindergarten and 8th. For the past 8 years I have been focusing on math in the 7-8 grades. I am currently the department lead for my middle school. In my spare time, I enjoy walking and hiking with my husband and three Siberian huskies. I also enjoy reading and running.
