I was born in Huntington Beach, California and went to school at The George Washington University in Washington, DC.  While there, I played Division 1 Volleyball and majored in Sociology and Art.  I then moved to Oregon and attended the University of Oregon and earned my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Teaching and ESOL endorsement.  I taught 2^nd/3^rd grade at McKenzie Elementary in Blue River, Oregon and then taught 3^rd grade and Kindergarten in Veneta, Oregon.  Now I am teaching 3^rd grade at Tom McCall and love being apart of this amazing school and district! I Live in Redmond with my Husband Jake, daughter Charlie and puppy Orvis!  I love hiking, working out, cooking, reading, and of course teaching!
