I have been a long time resident to the Boise / Eagle area; I graduated from Boise State University with a BA in English and a minor in environmental science, later I added my teaching credential by completing my MA in teacher education from the University of Phoenix.  When I'm not teaching, I like to spend time enjoying the Idaho mountains with my two teenage kids, backcountry / downhill skiing, mountain biking and admiring the awesomeness of the area's geology and wildlife.
