I have been a teacher in the Beaverton School District my entire career, this year being year 23! I went to Oregon State where I earned a degree in Human Development and Early Childhood Education. I continued on at Lewis & Clark College where I received my license and my Masters of Arts in Teaching degree.
Teaching is all I have ever wanted to do, and I love my job! I began teaching at Sexton Mountain in a 4th/5th multi-age classroom, opened Scholls Heights, where I looped between 4th and 5th grade for many years, and have now been at Hiteon for 7 years teaching 4th grade. I absolutely love this age group! I think the curriculum is exciting, and I love the enthusiasm and curiosity of the students. :-)
I grew up in Tigard. My family still lives in the area and we spend a lot of time together. I am a huge football fan and avid tennis player. I cheer on the Beavers and the Packers every fall! Tennis is ongoing throughout the year. I have two little dogs, Chloe and Charlie, who keep me busy with dog park visits and lots of walks!
