I am the Special Education/Online Teacher at Beacon Academy. I have been an educator for 23 years now, this will be my 4th year with IA. I grew up on the East Coast and lived in 7 different states throughout my life. I have been in Seattle now for 8 years. I love to travel, being in the outdoors, especially the beach, music, and doing things with my family and dog.
I’ve taught at Interagency long enough to see second generation Gray Wolves come through my classroom. I love that once you are part of the IA family, you are always part of it. My wife and I have two daughters, both of whom are now off at college so we are adjusting to the life of empty-nesters. My passions include reading all different kinds of books, traveling to new places, and walking my dog through different neighborhoods around Seattle.
Hi! I am Becca. I have been teaching at YEP- Interagency since 2012, and I taught for one year before that in Southern Idaho. I absolutely love my job because to me it’s all about building trust and relationships with people in order to support them in moving toward their goals and dreams. I truly feel like we are a family here. I taught ELA for my first 7 years here, and now I teach OARS and support students with their work on Apex.
I grew up in Tahoe City, CA, but I have been in Seattle for almost 10 years now. I have an amazing 3-year-old daughter named Jhenevaeh (pictured with me on a hike last Spring). In my spare time, I love coloring, writing, reading, hiking, dancing and deep and/or intellectual conversations. My favorite quote is “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And since I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do” from Edward Hale because it empowers me to be the change I want to see in the world and in my community.
I majored in English Language Arts and minored in Dance and Spanish at Whitworth University in Spokane. I got my Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors University in October of this school year. In another life, I would like to either be an editor or a counselor. Can’t wait to meet you and get to know you!
