About Me

I teach 6th grade Language Arts and History in Western Washington state. I am in my 20th year as an educator and 17th year in the classroom. With a bachelor’s degree in English (with an education minor in history), and a master’s of education in Curriculum and Technology, it's safe to say that teaching and learning are my favorite things.

Previously, I taught in Michigan, Hawaii and Virginia, and served as an Educational Technology Facilitator at York County School District in Virginia and am currently a graduate student in the Digital Education Leadership program at Seattle Pacific University.
