I was raised in Florida, but I was born in New York. I like watching funny movies, action movies, and even scary movies. My three favorite movies are Lone Survivor, Megan, and Free Guy. I like going fishing, hunting and hiking. I love to try new and creative ideas in my classroom and am always looking to expand my students knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
MT ECP Registry: Level 1
Education: High School Diploma, Continuing Education
Childcare Experience: In Florida I worked at Seaborn Day School in Tampa in the two year old class.
I moved to Montana from Salt Lake when I married my husband, Trent, and began working at Little Rangers in 2017. I love to travel and have been to or lived in 27 different countries. I want to travel to Antarctica to hug a penguin. I enjoy all that Montana has to offer for outdoor activities- hiking, camping, fishing, photography, skiing, snow shoeing- and now I enjoy it even more because I get to share the experiences with our one year old son.
MT ECP Registry: Level 4
Education: Human Development & Family Studies with an Emphasis on Child Life: University of Utah, May 2017
Childcare Experience: My mom always told me I would work with children ever since I was young and played in the McDonalds playground. I started babysitting at age 12, worked at a childcare center for a few years, worked as a nanny in Australia, nannied for multiple families during college.
My family began coming to Island Park and Yellowstone in 1969 and we would spend time during the summer visiting family in the Boise area. We would rent a cabin on Henry’s Lake and spend most of the summer fishing, hiking, an exploring the Park. This tradition continued for many years. In 2000, my partner and I purchased 5 acres of land in Island Park. We completed the log cabin and all infrastructures in 2006.
My hobbies include camping, fishing, water skiing, downhill skiing, hiking with my dogs, paddle boarding, reading, cooking, and baking.
