I'm so glad to be here at Cayuse Prairie School District! I've spent 17 years in education, most of them as an instructional coach working alongside teachers, cheering on students, and learning something new every single day. Stepping into the Superintendent/Principal role feels like a natural next chapter, and I couldn't be more excited to take it on with this community.

I've called the Flathead Valley home for 14 years, and I hold a bachelor's degree in elementary education, a master's degree in educational leadership, and I'm currently finishing up my superintendent endorsement. I'm a lifelong learner and I think that matters, especially when you're asking the same of your students and staff.

What I love most about small schools is simple: we get to know every kid. Not just their name, but their story, their strengths, and what makes them light up. I'm especially passionate about making sure our most capable learners are challenged and supported, and I believe every student here deserves both high expectations and a place where they truly belong.

Outside of school you'll find me out on the water kayaking, on a trail, or camping somewhere beautiful with my family. Living in Montana makes that pretty easy. I can't wait to get to know you so please don't hesitate to reach out!
