I have three AAS degrees: Human Services, Psychology & Criminal Justice from Central Wyoming College and Casper Community College. I received my BA from the University of Wyoming Laramie in Human Services and my MSW from Walla Walla University in Washington.

I have spent my professional career working in school districts with grades Pre K-12 on the Wind River reservation, Washington, and Casper, Wyoming.

I was born in Provo and lived in Springville until age 13, when I moved to Lander, Wyoming with my mother and her family. In 2018, after the death of my stepmother, I moved back to my childhood home to assist my father. I have three adult children, with four granddaughters, and two grandsons. I also have four great granddaughters and one great grandson. My life is filled with love and blessings that are growing with each day. I enjoy working with students and their families, making them stronger and able to face the world together in difficult times.
