I
was born in Great Falls Montana in 1960. We traveled because my father was in
the U.S. Air Force. We lived in Oklahoma and South Carolina. In 1968 we moved
to Okinawa in the Japanese Islands. In 1969 we moved to Clarkston and I
attended Holy Family School for a short time. I graduated from Lewiston High
School and attended Lewis-Clark State College, graduating with a degree in
Elementary Education. I began teaching at Holy Family School in 1994.
