Personal Summary
I am born and raised right here in Missoula, MT. I am a licensed Cosmetologist here in Montana since 2009. I loved making people "Silky Smooth" but had a serious life event that left me with sever head trauma, that left me completely blind in my left eye. So, if you see me running into things, or shoulder check a corner, no worries!! This, was a moment that I decided in my life that I wasn't going to give up, I was going to find a new path that fulfilled me.
I joined the Hellgate Elementary School District #4 in 2019. I worked there until May 2023, at Hellgate Elementary School they allowed me to develop programs and awards for the students. I created more than that, I made SUNSHINE for the students, and staff. During, the COVID-19 pandemic it casted a dark shadow on students, and I did everything I could to get them out of that darkness and into the light. I believe that every student has a special spark within them and sometimes it takes someone to acknowledge that spark for it to truly shine the brightest.
This is my goal in life to bring every person's spark come to life, when I come in contact with them.
Inspiring and Motivating those around me to be the best we all can be! Always for the greater good!
Hobbies
When I am not at COB, I love my time with my family, my husband; Branden, and my two kids; Madison 13 yrs and Lexington 9 yrs old.
I enjoy the outdoors; camping, fishing, hunting, walking, swimming. I love singing and dancing! I always have my tunes on, I love to feel the music. I wear my ear buds so I have my own personal theme song with me all day long! Additionally, I am that driver that doesn't care who's watching me, I sing and dance my heart out.
