After serving in the U.S. Navy and a decade working in Corrections, I chose to go back to school and change my career focus. I graduated from the College of Western Idaho with an Associate's of Arts in History. I then attended the College of Idaho in Caldwell where I graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor's of Arts in History and minors in Applied Mathematics and Education. Currently, I am still enrolled in the College of Idaho (go Yotes!) where I am working on my Masters of Arts in Teaching. This year, I am teaching Algebra Concepts, Geometry Concepts, and Geometry. As a new teacher, it is not only the students that are learning this year. With hard work and dedication from both myself and my students, as well as support from our outstanding administrative staff, this will be a successful year full of growth.
