I’ve served as a teacher at North Thurston Public Schools since 2002. As a result of our family’s military moves, I’ve also taught in Texas and Alaska. I completed dual bachelor degrees in elementary education and special education in 1995, a Master’s in English Language Learning in 2010 and achieved National Board Certification in 2013.

I live in Lacey with my husband, Jeremy, and our sassy cat, Mila. Our adult son, Michael, is a graduate of North Thurston High School and the University of Washington.

I look forward to partnering with you and your child as they begin their adventure of life-long learning, making new friends, teamwork, becoming more independent, being creative, problem solving and having fun!
