I moved to Ketchum in 1993 with a B.A. in English literature from Kenyon College. My unofficial career with BCSD began in 1996 as a Great Books volunteer facilitator at Hailey Elementary. 25+ years later, I'm still discussing literature with students! I have worked intermittently in the BCSD since 1998, first at Silver Creek Alternative School and then at Wood River High School. My work at Silver Creek inspired me to return to graduate school at Boise State to receive my teaching credentials in secondary language arts (aka English). I've taught English at WRHS since 2008. Analyzing and discussing literature and its many relevant themes connects me with my students in a number of rewarding and surprising ways. This is why I love my job-- no day or challenge or student is ever the same.
