Mount Vernon Schools

Biography

I have been teaching 6th grade at Washington Elementary School longer than any of my students have been alive! It is the only grade level I have ever taught and I feel it is the perfect fit for me.

I am originally from the east side of the state. After graduating from Okanogan High School, I eventually moved to Bellingham to attend Western Washington University. At Western I earned a degree in Elementary Education and History.  I later went on to earn my Master's Degree in Educational Technology.

I moved to Mount Vernon after marrying a Skagit Valley native. My son attended Washington School from kindergarten through 6th grade. I truly believe it was a perfect fit for him and hope that all families who attend our school feel equally as welcome.
