This is my nineteenth year in education. I graduated from Fort Lewis College and taught preschool for 3 years and the rest have been in a kindergarten classroom. I have also served on leadership, as a building math coach, and a SEL coach. I have also pursued graduate level courses in educator effectiveness and autism spectrum disorder. I am married and have two children, two grandsons, and two dogs. In my off time, I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, paddle boarding, boating, reading, and watching old movies.
