I have lived in Nebraska for approximately 20 years. I was born in Idaho and raised mostly in Colorado and Wyoming. I love the outdoors and have always been drawn to nature and feeling connected to the earth. I believe that connectedness and relationships are key to making the world a better place. Witnessing human growth and the adaptation process is fascinating to me. We all have a unique story and we all have the ability to reflect, learn, adapt and grow to be the best versions of ourselves. 

I have a diverse educational and professional background prior to coming to work for Scottsbluff Public Schools. I believe this is where I belong and can make the most impact. Youth are our future and I love being a part of supporting students as they develop into young adults. It is truly an honor to be a part of their metamorphosis. We plant a lot of seeds of wisdom here at Scottsbluff High School knowing we don't always get to witness the harvest, as that truly is a lifelong process.
