I've been teaching at River Ridge since 2009, and I strongly believe that with enough effort and guidance, all students are able to be successful in mathematics. I am looking forward to working with this year's students as they prepare for the SBA exam in the spring.

I graduated cum laude from Pacific Lutheran University with a B.A. in mathematics and B.M.A. in music theory. Then, I went to St. Martin’s University where I received my teaching certificate and my Masters in Teaching. I also became a National Board Certified Teacher in 2013.

I am actively involved with our district's math initiatives and am currently working with SPSCC to get students college credit for some of our math courses. I am a member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and present often at math conferences throughout the Pacific Northwest.
