Hello! Welcome to 9th grade! I am sure 2021-22 will be a memorable year for all of us. Please connect with me if you need emotional or academic support or just to say "Hi!" We will make it a great school-year and remember the best is yet to come! A little about me - I enjoy playing tennis, biking, hiking, and creating with my fun husband and our two dynamic children.

Getting off to a great start will help manage your stress and GPA as you progress towards senior year. I am here to assist you and your student with any academic, social/emotions, or post-secondary questions and/or concerns. The best way to reach me is via email.

South Bobcats I couldn’t be more grateful to be joining this team! This is my neighborhood school and someday my sweet little 4 year old Zelda will go to South! I’m looking forward to meeting you all and helping to meet all the needs that you and your families may have.
I have been a school social worker for the last 6 years in the Boise School District. Before that I was an Art teacher at two alternative high schools in West Ada Schools. I am a single mom to my one sweet 4 year old and when I am not working I spend as much time playing music as possible. I recently got into hiking and completed the Boise Grand Slam this spring!
I am extremely passionate about social work and I am dedicated to meeting the needs of South Junior High. Please contact with any questions at any time. 208.900.7031
What's up Bobcats! I know times are challenging. I'm here to support mental health, learning, and behavior to help students succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally during this unique time. A bit of information about me. I'm in my 6th year at South. I split my time with Grace Jordan Elementary as well.
Personally, I have a couple of kids, pound dogs and a wife. My interests are fishing, exploring the mountains in my UTV, and backpacking. Hang in there. We'll eventually get back to normal!
