A transplant from Utah, I have lived in Rock Springs, Wyoming for over 20 years. I have worked at Western Wyoming Community College in various positions within the Distance Education area. I began working at Western at the Video Conference Scheduler in the summer of 1997.  As I continued with my education, I was able to move into different positions with the Distance Education area. Most recently, I worked as the Instructional Designer at Western for two years before being hired as the Director of Distance Education in the Spring of 2010.  I am very passionate about Distance Education it is afforded me the opportunity to complete my education while still maintaining my work , family and community responsibilities.

I came to Western from Idaho on January 2001, the day before the big fire. I thought I was seeing my career as the video technician going up in smoke! Of course Western rallied and now I maintain two video systems, the state Wyoming Equality Video Network (WEVN) system and the WWCC video system. I graduated Western with an AA in Sociology and continued my education at the University of Wyoming with my major in Psychology and minor in Sociology. I moved to Wyoming to be near my grandsons and appreciate the opportunity to see them grow and to pursue a formal education at the same time.
