I came to teaching after 10 years as a newspaper reporter.  During my transition into education, I first worked as a paraeducator (at Evergreen Forest Elementary) and volunteered in a few different North Thurston Public Schools.  Later, I entered the Master in Teaching program at The Evergreen State College and graduated with my teaching certification and degree in June 2013.  I student taught at Clover Park High School and at Marshall Middle School (Olympia School District).

 

I really enjoy being a Timberline teacher. While I love seeing my previous students mature into tomorrow's leaders, I also look forward each year to getting to know students and families who are new to me. This year will be challenging as we begin with Remote Learning, but I still hope to build relationships with my students and their families as always.

 

Go Blazers!
