The Roaring 20s | Summer Institute | July 29th - 31st

I have taught special education for the past 18 years including the last 8 years at Vallivue High School. Previously, I taught in Texas (where I am originally from) and West Ada School District. I am an alumnus of the Idaho Coaching Network - cohort 5. This past year I earned the Idaho Master Teacher premium. I have also hosted several student teachers.

I have been a member of IEA since I began teaching in the state 10 years ago. I have been involved with Vallivue Education Association targeted local committee, as well as a building rep for VHS. Last year, I was able to attend RA and be part of the national voice of the union. While at RA, I was elected to be the RA-REC Caucus Pacific NW chair. This year, I have become involved in PACE legislative candidate endorsement interviews and most recently the Educator Outreach Team. I was a "difficult child," so it is my goal is to make every child feel valued and worthy.
