I have worked as a teacher and librarian for twelve years. I taught high school English Language Arts in Chicago and Seattle, and I love reading and talking about books!

I was raised in Bend, Oregon, and my family comes from Switzerland, where I lived as a little kid.

My partner and I have lived in Portland for four years, and we have two kiddos. We also have two awesome and grumpy cats named Ernie and Algernon. 

As a librarian, I love to read! I like all kinds of books, but I especially like reading poetry and science fiction. 

I also LOVE to cook. Some of my favorite things to make are fresh pasta and pies. I am also learning to garden and grow my own fruits and vegetables. 

On my days away from school, I like to hike, camp, and travel.
