I have been teaching in the Wenatchee School District for 24 years. I taught in Waterville for 6 years before coming to Wenatchee. I have been teaching first grade for 20 years! My husband was a 5th grade teacher at Columbia Elementary for 18 years until he became a instructional technology coach and now has gone back to teaching 5th grade at Mission View Elementary. We have one son, Paul, who is a mechanical engineer who is married to Michelle, a child/family counselor. They both work in Seattle. Our daughter is the musician in the family and works for the Auburn Symphony. She is married to Alex, who is a math teacher at Mercer Island High School. I love to do crafty stuff, work with my dogs, and drink coffee! My husband and I also love to go camping and do a little traveling. Tolli came to live with us about a year and a half ago. We added Tugg to our family in December of 2019! I have been taking Tolli to classes to learn agility and Tugg has been to puppy class to learn basic obedience.
