Back in l978, I moved from Chicago to Gardiner , MT where I traded in Cubs games and fabulous pizza for Yellowstone National Park . It was during that summer that I first laid eyes on Arrowhead School . I decided then that I would teach there some day. Almost thirty years later, I sit in my classroom here in the Paradise Valley . I am about to begin my ninth year at Arrowhead, and my fifteenth year as a teacher. I am a lover of World History and World Geography. My passion is to teach and travel. I carry with me my ethnic Croation upbringing, my experiences teaching in a one-room school, and the knowledge gained from being a part of the Montana Geographic Alliance and traveling to places such as Iran and the Kyrgyz Republic .  Welcome to my world!
