I grew up in Trent, SD and we were in the Flandreau School District, so I attended kindergarten through my senior year within that district.  After graduating High School, I went on to attend Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD.  I started out as an Art Major my freshman year.  In the years following, I changed my major a couple of times and ended up graduating with a major in Elementary Education and minors in Art and Early Childhood education.  Now my education happens daily at West Central.
