This is my 4th year at Tuslaw Elementary School and my 22nd year in education. I have taught as both a classroom teacher and as an intervention specialist. My experience as a classroom teacher includes Kindergarten thru 4th grade. Working as an intervention specialist, I have taught preschoolers thru 6th grade. My licenses include elementary eduction, kindergarten thru 8th grade, special education, kindergarten thru 12th grade, and reading, kindergarten thru 12th grade. My passion is reading and helping students be successful.

I am married to a Tuslaw alumni, Ray, and we have 2 children. My daughter, Madelynne, is a sophomore at Tuslaw High School and you will see her cheering at football and basketball games. My son, Raymond, is a 7th grader at the middle school and he enjoys playing football, wrestling, and basketball. If you see me at a game, make sure to stop and say hello! We have 2 dogs, Gracie and Khloe, and some chickens.

I look forward to working with you and your children this year! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need support.
