I am a native Oregonian and grew up in Sherwood. I received my BA in Elementary Education from Seattle Pacific University in 2011. I received my Master's in Education with an ESOL endorsement from George Fox University in 2016. This is my eighth year teaching. I've taught kindergarten for the past 7 years and this is my first year teaching first grade. I love being a Mustang! I enjoy being outdoors camping, hiking, and kayaking. In my free time I enjoy reading and crafting. I also love to spend time with my family, friends and two dogs. I'm a huge baseball and basketball fan, and love cheering on the Blazers and LA Dodgers. I'm excited to share this educational journey with you and your student!
