I’m originally from Tacoma, Washington, and have been happily married for over 25 years. I’m the proud parent of two grown children and share my life with two adorable dogs—a Boston Terrier and a French Bulldog—both of whom have the cutest squishiest faces.

 

This marks my 7th year teaching 5th grade, and I find immense joy in celebrating the successes of my current and former students. When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll often find me curled up with a good book and a cup of coffee, or indulging in my love for baking.
