Welcome first graders and families! I am excited about starting a new school year with you! This year will be my 6th year teaching. This is my 5th year teaching 1st grade. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education from Eastern Oregon University. While attending school, I played collegiate softball. I have a 3-year-old Australian shepherd mix named Sage who I spend time hiking and exploring with. I love teaching first grade and am passionate about teaching reading!
