About Me

I am very lucky to be a mom to Miles and Hazel. They are 6 and 4, and full of energy, questions, and love. We spend lots of time outside getting dirty and lots of time reading! Miles loves reading, building with Legos, and riding his bike with the neighbors. Hazel loves pretending, helping, babies, and performing.

I taught Pre-K through 4th grade, both general education and special education, in New York City from 2003-2019. I miss the big city, but I love being here in Oregon. I'm so happy to be part of the Happy Valley Elementary community!

I grew up briefly in New York City and Lincoln, Nebraska. Most of my childhood I spent in rural Pennsylvania, and then I spent my college and young adult years in New York City. My husband is from Tigard, and we just moved into his childhood home after a very quick year in San Francisco for his job. I'm currently learning about life in the suburbs.
