I grew up and went to business school in Whittier, California.  I started working for the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) in 1994 as a substitute IA, before taking a permanent position at Emily Dickinson/Explorer Community School in 1996.  I have been the Secretary/Registrar at Rose Hill Elementary since the fall of 2006.  Although I miss the interaction with students in the classroom I enjoy meeting the new families that come to our school and helping the students get settled. 

I live in Redmond with my husband Keith, our daughter, Kristine, who is attends Community College, and our cat, Mocha.  Our son, Craig, is taking graduate classes at University.
