For the past six years, Budd has been teaching fourth grade at Morgan Elementary School. “I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching all the fourth-grade Science,” she said.

“I love children and I’ve always wanted to help them become successful members of society,” commented Budd. Being a fourth-generation teacher she said, “Teaching is in my blood.” She also said, “I love when students ask questions and are inspired to learn and find answers outside the classroom.”

Besides teaching, Budd is on the Salary and Benefits Committee for the District as well as the Catastrophic Leave Committee. She is also the current president of the Morgan Education Association. 

Budd currently lives in Evanston, Wyoming but says, “What keeps me coming back to Morgan every day is the community. I love the kindness and caring that the people in this community show each other. I love the students and I am blown away by the support that is given in order to help them learn and thrive.”
