I was born and raised in Seattle.  I have five siblings, and my family all still lives in the area, too.  I grew up in Ballard.  I have been at John Hay since 2016, and I have enjoyed all the positive relationships I have built with students and staff over the years.  I love to see students living healthy, active, and joyful lives through physical activity.  When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, going to baseball games, hiking, and being outside in the PNW as much as possible.

This is my 16th year at John Hay. I have a 20 year old daughter who also went to John Hay for her elementary years. The joke in our house is she graduated, I did not. John Hay is my family. I love the sense of community and, of course, all the kiddos. I look forward to coming to work every single day. John Hay rocks.
