I am from the St. Helens area. I completed my k-12 education here in St. Helens. I graduated from Western Washington University with an Elementary Education degree with a minor in science. In 2006, I received my Master's from City University. In 2015, I completed a year of CIS classes.

   Needless to say, some people find me to be an odd duck. This is only because of my wide variety of hobbies. I enjoy making model rockets, building anything, “houses, stage sets, dollhouses” playing guitar, saxophone, fixing computers, playing video games, making short films, cycling, playing sports of any kind, board games, and more. I also collect PEZ dispensers.

   My goal is to have students feel confident in their own abilities and to help them grow at their own levels.
