As a third grade teacher at Catharine Blaine I enjoy each new school year. Third graders are wonderful, inquisitive, hard working and ready to learn. Go Tigers!

I grew up in Port Townsend where I spent my summers on our fishing boat or in the woods camping. I then moved to Tacoma to attend the University of Puget Sound where I earned my BA in Business and Math, and then a Masters Degree in Teaching. After college I moved to Seattle and got a job teaching at Catharine Blaine, and I never left! I am a Seahawks and Mariners fan, and I enjoy going to games regularly. (My husband worked for the Astros, so they are my 2nd favorite MLB team - hence the jersey in the profile pic.) When I'm not watching sports, I am playing volleyball and softball.
