在一起, 让我们向为子孙后代铺平道路的妇女的遗产致敬, 并继续为实现性别平等的未来而努力.
It took me over 10 years of advanced schooling, 工作, and moving across the country to land permanent, 全职, fulfilling work. During that decade, I had a child and finished my PhD in Higher Education, but I am most proud of my persistence in staying the course. 我不能说我在十年前想象的地方，但我很满足于我在这里. 我谈论我的教育之旅，因为我希望鼓励我的学生看到他们的教育, and the life they live along the way, as a journey to be valued. 这并不总是要计划确切的目的地，而是要接受旅行过程中产生的各种可能性.
我最自豪的成就是促进我的学生的成功, nearly half of whom have been female engineering students, 为他们提供坚实的基础知识和强大的解决问题的能力，这将有助于他们的整个职业生涯, allowing them to achieve their own individual goals.
让我感到无比自豪的成就是，我一直致力于为不同群体的学生提高受教育的机会. 在我的整个职业生涯中——从我本科时期作为学生招聘人员的角色开始, 后来，我成为了一名国际项目经理，在那里我与美国公司密切合作.S State Department and international educators, and now serving as the Director of Associate of Science & 在蒙大拿高地理工学院的课程设置上，我一直致力于为学生的生活带来切实的改变, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds.
As I approach my last year at Montana Tech, 我非常感谢我们大学里支持我的团体. Being a disabled woman in STEM has been challenging, but the opportunities offered here were never limited. In the past five years, I have participated in eight student organizations, completed six research projects, presented at five research symposiums, and have two 学位s (almost there). I am a MIT REU Summer Scholar, Goldwater Scholar, Rhodes Scholarship Finalist, 优秀毕业生, and 孤峰 Local Hero. I was able to do it with the community at Tech. 在这里的这段时间里，我了解到，无论性别或身体限制，你都可以成功.
In 2022, 我获得了蒙大拿数学教师委员会颁发的院长普雷布尔纪念奖。. I joined MCTM when I started teaching at Montana Tech in 2008. 在过去的16年里，这个组织一直是我职业生涯的重要组成部分. 多年来，我在组织和国家中担任过许多不同的角色. 我有机会从优秀的老师那里学习，并建立了美好的友谊. 我很荣幸也很谦卑，能和这么多我个人钦佩的教育工作者一起上榜. 我很高兴能继续为蒙大拿州的数学社区服务，并与来自全州各地的优秀教育工作者一起工作.
I have had the privilege of being employed by Montana Tech since 1989. For my first 33years (1989-2022), I was the Director of Nursing. During my tenure, 我最大的成就是带领我从一个有执照的护理实践项目过渡到一个四年制的护理学士学位. Today, our nursing program is a top program in Montana! 过去两年(2024年至今)，我一直担任高地学院院长. I have converted curriculum, 增加新的证书和学位课程，并专注于劳动力发展. The latest challenge has been exciting and rewarding. 我的成功与过去35年来与我一起工作的优秀员工直接相关.
