Hello! I am the Genesee Elementary 2nd grade teacher. I have been part of the Genesee Elementary staff since 2011 and I have taught 2nd grade since 2015. I love 2nd graders because of their imaginations, their impressive, learning capabilities, and the incredible energy they possess. As a life-long learner, I actively seek out information about human development and brain research related to education as frequently as possible. As a professional, I continually seek ways to make my practices more effective and efficient.
I currently live in Genesee with my husband, Jake, my two daughters, Kyra and Mia. Outside of school, I enjoy building and creating in a variety of forms. I also enjoy taking advantage of the beautiful Northwest by hiking in the summer, snowboarding in the winter, and taking long walks with my sister whenever I can.
