I am excited to be back in Parker after working for Department of Homeland Security in the School Safety Center for the past two years.  I worked with schools across the state of South Dakota in training for mental health, trauma and internet safety.  I also started the program Handle With Care in South Dakota for communication between schools and emergency responders. 

I am entering into my 21^st year in education, with all of those in Turner County but one.  I am passionate about building positive relationships with students and families and helping students see how much they can accomplish.  I look forward to working with our amazing staff and students and building our school district to be the best place to be.
