I received a Bachelor of Science degree, with an emphasis in mathematics, from The Evergreen State College and my Master in Teaching degree from Saint Martin's University. I have been teaching at Timberline High School since 2014. Previously, I worked at South Sound High School, North Thurston Public Schools' alternative high school, from 2009 to 2014. I have also worked as a tutor for Upward Bound, a program that seeks to help traditionally under-served students attend college.
