I am a music teacher at Lockwood School in Billings, Montana. I teach grades 3, 4, and 5 general music and 5th grade beginning band. 
 
I was born on April 16, 1971 in Sacramento, California. When I was in second grade I moved to Shepherd, Montana.  My favorite subjects in school were choir, art and science . After graduating from Shepherd High School I attended college at Eastern Montana College in Billings.   During my education there it changed to Montana State University - Billings.  I earned a Extended Bachelor of Science Degree in K-12 music. My first teaching job was teaching K-12 music in Lavina, Montana where I taught Elementary music, Junior High music and High School band and choir.   I taught music there for 3 years before coming to Lockwood School. I have worked at Lockwood since the fall of 1999.

My husband Steve and I married in 2002 in Las Vegas, Nevada while we were there for a Nascar Race.  We farm on the west end of Billings on the homestead of my husband's great grandparents.  We have a son named Seth who was born in July 2005, and 2 border collies, Molly & Romo.

When I am not in school teaching music I like to spend time with family and friends.  Some of the activities that I like to do are: snow and water skiing, camping, swimming, gardening, and attending sporting events (Go Broncos!). My husband and I also like to travel to new and exciting places!
