I have over 20 years of experience in education, teaching students across grades K-12 in both general and special education settings. I hold a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education with a Middle School endorsement, a Master’s in K-12 Special Education, and a K-12 Principal Graduate Certificate. I am a certified ADHD Educator and certified Autism Specialist. In addition to my teaching role, I am a certified basketball and track coach and have coached in the Special Olympics. My career has focused on supporting diverse learners through individualized instruction, inclusive practices, and collaborative problem-solving with colleagues, families, and community partners.
In my current role as an Elementary Special Programs Case Manager, I value the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues, teachers, specialists, related service providers, and families, both within the school and beyond, ensuring open communication and shared strategies that help students succeed.
When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my family, traveling, adventuring in the mountains, whether hiking or RZR riding, spending time with our pups, and getting lost in a good book.

Although a Nashville native, I received two Bachelor's Degree from Black Hills State University in 2015, one in Special Education K-12 and one in Elementary Education K-8. I spent four years teaching general education 3rd grade in Crook County School District before moving to Campbell County School District to teach 3rd and 4th grade special education and later, become a special programs case manager.
What I love about my role as a case manager is the opportunity to support students by empowering and equipping teachers, administrators, and staff to make the best, most informed decisions for student success.
Personally, I am never for a lack of interests! I have been married for 13 years, have a daughter and son, run a nonprofit, own two small businesses, teach yoga, and enjoy reading, traveling, and creating.

I received my bachelor's in psychology from the University of Wyoming and my master's in special education from Grand Canyon University. I previously worked at Campbell County High School for approximately nine years as a special education teacher, and the last two years as the special programs department chair.
My favorite part of working in education is the opportunity to collaborate as a team. Helping students and teachers find success is my goal.
I spend my free time with my wife and two boys. My weekends are taken up with watching my sons play youth sports. I am a huge fan of the Wyoming Cowboys and I try to get to Laramie as often as I can to watch a game in person.
