Seattle Public Schools

I have been a 5th grade teacher at Hazel Wolf since 2015. I have taught all grades K-5 and 5th is my favorite! I love being a part of the 5th grade team and the Wolf Pack! Science is one of my favorite subjects to teach and I feel fortunate to be at an ESTEM focused school.

In my life outside of Hazel Wolf, I am mom of two amazing daughters, Emma and Lucy, who both attended Hazel Wolf. Emma recently graduated from Oregon State University, majoring in Marine Biology. Lucy is currently studying Criminology/Criminal Justice at Loyola University Chicago. My husband Will and I have lived in Maple Leaf for 25 years. I enjoy gardening, reading, attending live music, and traveling in my free time.

Personal Message

I have taught in Seattle Schools since 2002 and have been at Hazel Wolf since the beginning of the program.  I love my job!  I can’t imagine a better place to come to work every day.

I have been teaching at Hazel Wolf since the fall of 2012! In that time, I have taught 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 5th grade. I am a National Boards certified teacher and have a Masters in Education from the University of Washington and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California Davis. I love teaching elementary-aged students, and feel incredibly lucky to work at a school with values rooted in STEM education and environmental science. Caring for the environment is one of my passions in life, and I find it so rewarding to be in a position to teach young people to be stewards of their environment. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, live music, travel, & hiking.
