I’m a Northwest gal, born and raised in Oregon. My husband and I came up to the Olympic Peninsula in 2000 for the easy access to water and mountains, loved it and stayed. We raised two girls here on a little acreage with a big garden and a delightful pond that is home to migrating birds of all sorts.
“Empty nesters” now, we get to travel to see our daughters who currently live and study in fabulous locations. We are also at the stage of caring for our parents with a lot of trips to Oregon and Minnesota.
I started my teaching career way back in 1988 with a degree in Elementary Education from Oregon State University and taught in public elementary schools in Oregon and Alaska, a private girls high school in Tanzania, and eventually made my way to Quilcene School District in Washington. While later working to help start and then serve as the director of a Waldorf school here on the Olympic Peninsula I earned a master’s degree in school administration. Along the way I also ran a preschool in my house and spent several years homeschooling our kids, so this is my 34th year in education! Zoiks.
I came to the PEARL faculty in 2010 and have loved the opportunity to partner creatively with parents and their children all over the state while being at home with my own family, too. I currently serve in Pearl as both Teacher and MTSS manager, connecting families to academic resources like Lexia, etc., to help with dyslexia and other learning challenges.
