​About Me!

Fun Fact: I grew up in Kila, Montana, and attended Kila School as a student. I consider myself an adventurous person and love to explore the beautiful state of Montana. I enjoy outdoor activities and spend most summers hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, and paddleboarding. In the winter months, I love to ski. I also find comfort in reading books, watching baseball, and spending time with my family. We feel fortunate to call this place home. My husband, who is from Helena, owns a photography business in Kalispell, so during the summer months, I help with capturing beautiful weddings with him.

My Education

After graduating with a B.S. in Health and Human Development from Montana State University in 2016, I worked for the non-profit Help Center Inc. in Bozeman, where I assisted families and children throughout Montana. Subsequently, I graduated with my M.Ed in School Counseling from MSU in 2021. Go Bobcats! Prior to pursuing my dream of becoming a School Counselor in Kalispell, I spent 5 years working with families and children. As a School Counselor, my passion lies in providing a safe space for all students. At Kila School, our mission, "Every Kid. Every Day," drives us to create a supportive culture within our school.​
