I grew up in a Navy family and have lived all over the country. My middle school years were spent in Saudi Arabia and Hawaii! I graduated from UC San Diego in 1990 with Bachelor degrees in History and Sociology and a minor in Literature. I then went on to San Diego State for my teaching credential. My teaching career began in 1991 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Other districts that I have taught in include Forest Grove, OR, Evergreen, Ridgefield, and now Battle Ground! I continued my education in Special Education and Reading.

Life at home is very busy with my 5 kids! You might even see us at the YMCA. I love to dance, listen to great music, work out, garden, and read. I have a wonderful family and fantastic friends that I share my life with.

I love spending my days in such a caring community. Let’s have a fun year!!
