Over the past 25 years, I have had the amazing opportunity to work as a Classroom Teacher and Reading Specialist with wonderful families, students, and colleagues in Bellevue, Shoreline, and Seattle.  When I am not at school, I enjoy reading, running, traveling, and spending time with my two sons.

I am so lucky and honored to be part of the John Hay community.  As a Reading Specialist, I am passionate about helping students master the foundations of reading in order to become confident readers.

Hello! I’m thrilled to be joining the John Hay community as a first-grade teacher this year. I am excited to work with you all and be a part of this wonderful school community!

In the 20 plus years I have been a teacher in Seattle, I have taught many grade levels at a couple different schools. I have been at Hay since 2004 and I am teaching one of my favorite grades, fourth grade. I have a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction and a BA in Sociology-anthropology. I hold high expectations for all of my students and love to sing with my class as often as possible.

GO JAGS!!!
