I was born and raised in a small Montana town, so the sense of that type of community has always been a foundation of who I am today. I’m a native of Cut Bank, and I moved to the Bitterroot in 2006.  I felt quickly welcomed into the Corvallis community.  My husband, Ken, was born and raised in the Bitterroot. He is a Journeyman lineman for Ravalli Electric Co-op.  I attended the U of M, graduating with a degree in Psychology and I am a Realtor.  We chose to live in the Corvallis community, knowing our kids would be going to a school district with a strong reputation.  I am a weekly volunteer in the Middle School as well as an active member of the PAWS (Parents at Work in the School) group and most recently a member of the Corvallis Foundation Board.  I believe as a parent and community member; it is important to be involved.
