Originally from Colorado, I found my home in Oregon twenty years ago. I fell in love with Portland and its proximity to great trail running, skiing, and the Pacific Ocean. Teaching mostly in the Beaverton School District, this is my second year at OES but my eighteenth year teaching high school students. When I'm not at OES, I enjoy bike rides for awesome ice cream, getting lost in Powells, and being outside with my family and our goofy black lab.

Education:

• B.A. University of Colorado, Boulder
