While in Billings, I earned my Master's degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. My husband and I moved to Cody in 2012, and I have been an outpatient therapist with Yellowstone Behavioral Health Center since then, with specific emphases in working with children, behavior disorders, and anxiety disorders. In my spare time, I like going on walks with my husband and 3 kids, loving on my dog, Milo, taking care of my flowers, and hand lettering. I absolutely LOVE the work I do, and I am looking forward to working with the kids and staff at Livingston!

I grew up and attended college in Pennsylvania. Earning my bachelor's degree in Technology Education from Millersville University, I began teaching right away. I have taught in Arizona for three years, North Carolina for four years, and I am beginning my fourth year teaching in Wyoming.

This summer I stayed stateside and went on a road trip with my family from North Carolina up to Vermont.
