,Personal Message

I grew up in Atlanta and love getting back there whenever possible to visit my family.  Traveling is one of my favorite things to do when I have time off.  When I don't have time to travel to different places, I enjoy hiking with Albus Dumbledore, my Golden Doodle.  Albus has been certified as a therapy dog, and I try to bring him to school once a week.

I'm one of the resource teachers at Cascadia.  This is my 7th year with the district and my 4th year at Cascadia.  I work hard to build relationships with both students and families, so please don't hesitate to contact me with your questions.

I am so excited to teach Language Arts and Social Studies at Cascadia. These are two of my favorite subjects!
