I am SO excited to be your child's kindergarten teacher. We are going to have a lot of fun learning this year with new adventures each day! Here is a little bit about me!
I was born and raised in Missoula, Montana. This is my 8th year teaching kindergarten! I have absolutely loved my time as a kindergarten teacher and I feel beyond lucky to get to teach at an incredible school like Hellgate Elementary.
I am the oldest of three kids. I have two younger brothers. Both live here in Missoula! My youngest brother just graduated from the University of Montana and played football! GO GRIZ!
My sister in law is Miss Piazzola, who also teaches kindergarten in the classroom right across the hall from me!
Some of you may know me as Miss Tirrell, but since then I got married to the most wonderful man! My new name is Mrs. Olson!
I love to be outdoors doing all kinds of activities snow skiing, water skiing, and paddle boarding the river to name a few. I love organizing, crafting, chocolate, and going to the gym. I’m a huge football fan- my favorite team is the Griz!
This is my favorite place in the whole world-- Bitterroot Lake! My family has had a cabin here for my whole life and this is where I have spent every summer!
I went to Carroll College in Helena, Montana and I couldn’t wait to become a teacher! I have my Bachelor’s degree in elementary and special education and I have a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Policy.
