I have been a professional singer and music teacher all of my adult life. I have sung for local musical theaters and churches. Currently, I have a jazz band called "Hopscotch."
I have two grown children who attended Seattle Public Schools and they still live with my husband and me in the Greenwood neighborhood. I love to garden and cook and play with my dog, Molly
Hello! This is my third year in the district as a multilingual support teacher and my second year at Licton Springs. I split my time between Licton Springs and Loyal Heights. I completed my BA at University of Washington and my Master’s in Education at Antioch University Seattle, then later went back to school to earn my ELL endorsement. I have been teaching since 2007! In that time, I have been a substitute teacher, a special education instructional assistant, a 4th grade teacher, and now a multilingual learners teacher. I love this position as I can support both students and teachers and watch students grow in their language development. We are all language learners!
When I am not at school, I am busy doing activities with my husband and kids. Our daughter is in elementary school and our son is in preschool. Fun fact: I have lived in Ballard for over 19 years, and our kids are the fourth generation of the family to live in our current house!
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.
