As a teacher, my aim is to support students' imaginations and enrich their concept of self and the world. I believe teaching and learning is all about inquiry, exploration, curiosity, and creativity. Graduating from the University of South Dakota with a Bachelors in English Education and Library Media, I am passionate about helping students find their voice and learning how to communicate in this big wide world. I am a mom of a young son, and you can find us hiking, swimming in the river, jumping in mud puddles, and eating Taos Cow ice cream.
