I have worked in education for 16 years, but this is my first year at Centennial High School.  I have a Bachelor's degree from Boise State University and a Master's degree from Concordia University.  I have three amazing adult children (Aliya--a teacher in West Ada, Alex--a Corrections Officer and Dan--a Marine and Boise State student) and an amazing son-in-law (Zach--a state tax supervisor).  My only grandkids are fur babies.  I love animals and have dogs and cats.  I enjoy reading, writing, gardening, traveling, movies, paddle boarding, hiking, participating in races with my boys, and enjoy all family activities.  I enjoy teaching and love to see students graduate and go out into the world!
