I started teaching driver education at West Fargo public schools in 2006. I received my Bachelor of science degree from Minot State University in 2000. I have been the assistant Girls hockey coach in West Fargo since 2007. I received the American Driver and Traffic Safety Teacher of Excellence Award in 2019 at the ADTSEA conference in Burlington Vermont. I am currently the North Dakota Driver and Traffic Safety Association state president. Before becoming NDDTSEA president I was the southeast representative for Driver Education from 2013-2000.
