I have been fortunate to have taught at both the primary and intermediate grade levels as a full day kindergarten, first, fourth, and fifth grade teacher.  All of these experiences have increased my joy for teaching and learning.  I graduated with degrees in Biology and Liberal Studies, and a minor in Chemistry from Oregon State University.  I earned my teacher certification from the University of Washington, my professional teacher certification from Seattle Pacific University, my Master degree in Educational Leadership and administrator certification from the University of Washington.  Education is truly my passion!
