This will be my 14th year teaching science at Roosevelt High School. I am born and raised in the Pacific Northwest attended Shorewood high School followed by Maui College, Washington State University and then the University of Washington. I love the Pacific Northwest and being out in nature. My partner/husband and two sons are Norwegian citizens as well as US citizens. I bring my life long experience of exploring hunting, gathering and fishing to my courses which include NW Geology, Cellular Biology and NW Ecology.

I graduated from Roosevelt, my family went to Roosevelt, and I returned to Roosevelt to be a Language Arts & Social Studies teacher in 2010. In February 2022, I transitioned to be one of RHS’s Academic Intervention Specialist. I look forward to supporting our students, teachers, families and communities as we grow together find our joy and support all students to success.

I am Dennice, Special Education Assistant for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing program at RHS, and guess what; I also graduated from RHS! It was a wonderful memory and now, I am glad to be working here. I attended SCCC and Gallaudet University. My educational experiences increased my work ethic. I am very motivated by watching students achieve their dreams and goals. My hobbies are cooking, hiking, & sharing a laugh. I consider myself organized and a great problem solver. I love helping students with their willingness to learn, and succeed.

I am part of the special education team, supporting students' communication needs. I have been with SPS since 2019.
