Before joining the Mountain Community School team, Ms. Bre has worn many hats. Ms. Bre has been a Children’s Librarian, the Education and Programs Coordinator for Payette Children’s Forest, the Executive Director of Wild Science Explorers, and a professional snorkel for Idaho Fish and Game. 

Ms. Bre is an East Coast gal at heart, growing up in Connecticut and attending the University of Vermont, where she studied Fisheries Management. The wild landscapes of Idaho, and the fish that live in them, brought her to Valley County in 2014. After many wonderful years of backcountry fisheries research, she decided it was time to follow her heart and pursue a career in education. In 2018 Ms. Bre received a Masters of Natural Resources, from the McCall Outdoor Science School, where her focus was place-based environmental education. A winding path filled with hard work, amazing teaching opportunities, and a sincere love for our community eventually led her to the Mountain Community School.

Ms. Bre has a passion for bringing place-based inquiry projects to the classroom.  She believes in giving students autonomy over their learning and that there is no idea too big. With creativity, hard work, and willing educators, students have limitless potential. Being part of a team that shares these ideals is a dream! When not in the classroom, you can find Ms. Bre guiding educational rafting trips on the Salmon River, playing in the mountains with her husband Josh and dog Rio, or relaxing with a good book.
