Seattle Public Schools

I've been teaching English at Roosevelt since 1997, only a few years after I graduated from there. English is the best subject to teach and take because it plays in psychology, morality, social critique, art, creativity and personal expression, philosophy and history, and because it demands a deeply personal engagement and humility.

Personal Message

I teach 10th Grade World Literature and AP Language and Composition.

I have a BS in Business Administration from Marquette University and a MS in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University of Wisconsin. I was formerly a Human Resources Manager but now have taught for 11 years. I have taught at Roosevelt since 2017 and earned national board certification in 2020. DECA is an important part of my curriculum and provides opportunities for students to compete on a global level and network with professionals.
