I graduated from University of Washington (Go Dawgs!) and went on to receive my Masters in Teaching from Washington State University - Vancouver. I taught in the classroom in Vancouver and Evergreen school districts for 5 years including 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades. This year is my 16th year as a Teacher-Librarian with Battle Ground Public Schools.
I have two children - Mackenzie, 21, and Parker, 19. I also have a golden retriever named Sophie (4), a chocolate lab named Bentley (4), and a cat named Piper (9). I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, traveling, movies, and college football.
