I have been teaching at Genesee since 2017.  Before coming to Genesee, I taught at Lapwai Elementary for four years and in Gig Harbor, Washington, for eight years.  I earned my Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, in 2004.  I love stand-up paddle boarding, camping, cooking for my family, reading, and spending time with my dogs.

I enjoy working with elementary students, and I am passionate about helping students to develop a growth mindset while working towards their individual learning goals.  Parents and caregivers are my partners in this work.
