A little about your child’s first grade teacher. I was born and raised on a pygmy goat farm here in Kimberly, ID. I graduated from Kimberly high school in ’09 and graduated from college in Billings, MT in ’14. This is my 12th year teaching first grade. I have taught one year in MT, three years in ND, and now eight years at Stricker Elementary. I am a super energetic and hands on crafty teacher. Your child will be a part of hatching chicks, hatching prey mantis, growing flowers, making volcanoes and so much more. I try to make sure our class is moving every 15 minutes and never sitting for very long. I coordinate the Stronger girls running club. 3 years ago I married my amazing husband and I have 3 wonderful step kiddos. We have a small farm with one potbelly pig, 1 mini horse, 13 barn cats, 8 goats, and 20+ chickens. I also have a wired hair Griffondor named Freya and a Great Dane named Odin. I am very outdoorsy and enjoy being in the mountains or out fishing as much as I can. I LOVE teaching! My goal is to have our class love being at school, to push themselves, to feel great about themselves, and be great citizens in our community. I was inspired by Perrine Man Press and their moto “MADE for MORE”. I believe every person should know they are made for amazing things in their life, believe in themselves, and love who they are. You will hear this from me, our class, and see stickers of this saying around the class.
I look forward to our 2025-2026 school year together!!
