I am a first grade teacher at Buchanan Elementary School.
I graduated in 1996 from Riggs High School in Pierre. I got my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with minors in Early Childhood and Reading from NSU in 2000. I also have a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from BHSU in 2009. I have been teaching since 2001 and started my career in Bowdle, SD where I taught Pre-K, Kindergarten, and First Grade. Since moving back to Pierre in 2009 I taught ECH, First Grade, and Title I Reading at Jefferson Elementary. 2022 brings me to Buchanan and back to First Grade!
I have been married since 2003 to my husband Dennis. He is a Court Services Officer. We have 2 kids: Kaitlyn and Spencer.
If you see someone who looks like me, it's because I have a twin sister who also teaches at Buchanan School. :)
