About Me

As an alumni of the Highmore - Harrold School I am happy to be an educator in the school that taught me so much. I attended North Dakota State University and graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education, a Middle School Language Arts Endorsement, and my coaching certificate. I started my teaching career at Crow Creek Tribal Schools teaching 4th grade for five years. I then ventured to Flandreau Public Schools where I taught 5th grade for three years. I then returned to Crow Creek to teach 3rd grade for one more year. This will be my 3rd year teaching in the Highmore-Harrold School District.

I have two children Whitley (6 yrs. old) and Wesley (3 yrs old). I enjoy spending time with my children and doing yard work.

Classroom Expectations

I expect all my students to come to class ready to learn. I do not assign homework, any assignments that are not completed in class or study hall will then become homework. I understand that there may be special circumstances that results in late work, please contact me if needed. I believe every student in my class can learn if they are attending school everyday and working to their fullest potential.
