About Me

Welcome Westlake students and families! This is my third year at Westlake and eighth year in education. I moved to Austin early 2021 from Seattle, Washington to complete my Master's in Teaching. I completed my B.A. at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington where I majored in Education and minored in English. Teaching is a passion of mine, and I'm thankful to be at such an incredible school. I will be teaching Honors English 1 and advising the school's newspaper The Featherduster for the third year. 

I have loved exploring Austin! In my free time I enjoy hiking, paddle boarding, playing soccer, watching sports, baking, and of course reading. Some of my favorite authors include Amy Tan, Edith Wharton, and Louise Erdrich. I grew up near Portland, Oregon where I developed my love of the outdoors and being out on the water. 

I look forward to getting to know all of you!
