I grew up on the beautiful Oregon Coast but discovered the Treasure Valley when I attended Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa.  I have a bachelor's degree from NNU in Social Studies Education and a master's degree from Boise State in History.  This year is my 21st year of teaching at Meridian High School, and I am extremely proud to have been a Warrior for such a long time! I am blessed with a terrific husband of 16 years and two amazing children.
