It is teaching that has been the most rewarding and enjoyable for me, but having experience in the others means that I know what employers are looking for. I earned my B.A. in Economics from the University of North Dakota Summa Cum Laude, with minors in History, Sociology and Political Science, and a Master of Education from Montana State University with a GPA of 4.0. I have also taken classes from Macalester College in St. Paul and the University of Minnesota, so I know what colleges are looking for. I have raised three children, all of whom graduated from institutions of higher learning and now have successful careers. I have been lucky to have traveled widely, to all the inhabited continents except Australia, including three years of teaching at the American School in Georgetown, Guyana, so I can bring informative and fun views and examples to our studies.

Photography, fishing, hiking, skiing, archeology, chess, politics, and reading.
