I have been teaching at Bowman since the 2008-2009 school year. I have a bachelor's degree in Physical Education from Bethany College. I am a proud Army veteran! I served as a combat medic and paratrooper at Fort Bragg, and Wiesbaden, Germany, and deployed to Bosnia and Herzegovina. As the Focus Teacher, I provide social, emotional, and behavior support to special education students. I am a busy mom of 4 kids. My oldest two children attended Bowman, WHS, & PESH, my 3rd is here at Bowman, and my 4th attends McCall. In my free time, I am a health coach, and I enjoy being outdoors on walks, hiking, or biking. I am always reading at least a couple of books, and always planning our next family adventure!
