About me

Introduction	This is my 14th year of teaching, but my 23nd year in the Snoqualmie Valley School District. I began as a Special Education Technician at Fall City Elementary. I worked there for 9 years – while I was earning my Bachelors degree at Central Washington University. I graduated magna cum laude with a major in early childhood education and a minor in elementary education. Two years later, I graduated with a Masters degree in curriculum and instruction from Lesley University. In 2009 I achieved National Board Certification. My husband Bob and I raised our four children here in the Snoqualmie Valley. Our nest is empty of children, but filled with two cats: Girl Kitty and Einstein, as well as Boston Terriers: Baby Cakes and Norm. I love spending time with my family which includes 6 grandchildren. I enjoy reading, going to plays, concerts and movies, quilting, and going camping.
