I'm a born and raised Clark county kid. I grew up in Hockinson, WA on my parents' 10 acre family farm. Growing up with the freedom to roam their property has given me a deep love of all things Pacific Northwest. I love spending time outdoors as much as possible. I have three children, Tucker, Adelia, and Lucy. Tucker is attending WSU and both Adelia and Lucy attend Skyview High School.
When I am not in the classroom I can be found exploring. When I am tired from exploring the outdoors I love to read. My favorite adult book is Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. My all time favorite juvenile series is The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. My favorite picture book is A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon.
I was hired to teach the 4th/5th grade combination class in 2015 at Union Ridge Elementary and am now teaching 5th grade at Sunset Ridge Intermediate. I have fallen in love with the community surrounding Sunset Ridge and look forward to a long career in this fantastic school district. I am a proud Coyote!
