I earned my teaching certificate from Central Washington University in 2000 and my Master of Arts in Teaching from Grand Canyon University in 2007.  In 2013, I became a National Board Certified Teacher in Early/Middle Literacy. I taught for 14 years in the Bethel School Districts in 3rd grade and Kindergarten.  In 2014, I moved to Thurston County and began teaching at Chambers Prairie Elementary.  I am happy to be a part of an amazing staff.  I love working with primary students and watching them grow both academically and socially.
