I have lived in Redmond my entire life. I am an Eastlake high school graduate. I attended Emily Dickinson Elementary and Evergreen Junior High, just down the hill from here!

I am a graduate of Central Washington University in Ellensburg, with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and a minor in Early Childhood Education. I also completed my masters in Education with a focus in reading and literacy.

My family is very important to me. My sister and I are extremely close. She is exactly one year older-we share the same birthday! One of my favorite places is my family cabin on Guemes Island. At the cabin I love to go boating, crabbing, on walks to see the starfish, relax, and read.

It is so much fun to work closely with such an enthusiastic staff and wonderful community. It is awesome being a part of a school where the arts are used to continually enhance learning. I feel so lucky to be teaching kindergarten at this fantastic and unique school.
