I love teaching 4th/5th grade! Teaching the oldest kids in the school is the best! Going to overnight camp and teaching FLASH is my favorite thing about 5th grade!

EDUCATION: I have a Masters in Human Development, and a BA in English literature. Go Dawgs!

PERSONAL: I am mother of three kids. I love to travel, spend time with friends and family and I'm obsessed with gardening when my back is not hurting!

TEACHING: I would consider myself as a warm demander. I have high expectations for my students and they reach them!

Welcome to 4th/5th grade in the Perfect Pink Paradise!

This is my sixth-year teaching elementary music and I am so happy to be doing it at John Hay! I have a Master of Music Education from UW and a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from PLU. I enjoy playing many instruments as well as learning and teaching about musicians from around the world and throughout history. When I’m not at school you can find me making music with my husband and son or exploring the great outdoors. I’m excited to make music with you!
