Hello! My name is Jo.
I grew up surrounded by wheat, corn, and a wonderful community in a small town in western Nebraska. Both my parents were teachers there. In many ways, I feel like I'm returning to my roots by joining the passionate team of educators at Skyview. I graduated from the University of Wyoming with honors with a double major in Anthropology and Environment and Natural Resources. While there, I worked in an archaeology lab and assisted with excavations at Hell Gap National Historic Site. After graduating, I worked as an environmental educator for six years in the Rockies and in Arizona. It was during this time that I developed a deep passion for botany, ecology, and science education. In summer of 2018, I started my Masters of Science in Science Education through MSU. It was this most recent pursuit that inspired me to enter the classroom. In my free time, you can find me trail running, hiking, skiing, reading, cooking, and (of course) eating. |
