Brief Bio: I graduated from Saint Martin's University in 1991 with a degree in Elementary Education/Psychology. I completed my Master's Degree in Educational Technology from City University in 1994. I taught two years at Raymond Elementary before being hired at Pe Ell School District. I have taught at Pe Ell for 28 years.  My first 17 years was teaching history, reading, and PE at the middle school. My last 11 years have been teaching history, psychology, and PE at the high school. I also was the Athletic Director for seven years, and the head girl's basketball coach for Pe Ell High School for 17. I have been the Junior Class Advisor for the past 11 years and the WE Club Advisor for the past 9. My teaching motto is "to prepare my students to be productive individuals that will contribute positively to society".

I have two children, and three grandsons. My husband and I currently live in Adna and are building our retirement home at Lake Cushman.
