Co-CHAIR: Language Arts Department

Biography

Hello! This is my 16th year at Garfield. I have taught many English classes here, but right now I have three sections of AP11, one section of Read180, and I am the token grownup on the Garfield Yearbook Staff. I am also the Language Arts Department Chair.

I am the French teacher at Garfield! I currently teach French 2, French 3, and AP French. If you need to reach me, I am available before school starting at 8:10 and after school until around 4. E-mail is also always as good option: I check it every day other than Saturday.

Through my travels and my studies at the University of Washington (for both my Master's and Bachelor's Degrees), I have discovered a true passion for French language and culture and for working with students to share that passion. I grew up in Seattle, attending Bishop Blanchet HS before UW. In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball and basketball, reading mystery novels, and playing the piccolo at events with the UW Husky Marching Band Alumni Association.
