I'm so very excited and elated to teach at Lincoln! My goal is to share my love of design-thinking and skill-building with students, as well as the joys of finding career opportunities and building pathways.
I'm a Seattle native -- growing up in Bellevue, with lots of time in Wallingford, West Seattle, Magnolia, and Queen Anne. I graduated from UW with a degree in advertising. My professional life started at Nordstrom (during high school and college), then as an art director for many really cool Seattle advertising agencies, as a creative director, a freelance illustrator and designer. My journey brought me to teaching, beginning at The Center School in 2001, as part of the original design team. I like to share time with my husband, three adult children (when they're not too busy living their own best lives!), and our dog, Woody.
Hello! I am thrilled to be here at Lincoln and focusing on Physical Education and Health classes. I have a deep passion for my subject matter and hope to pass that along to my students. I completed my undergrad at the University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!) and graduate degree from the University of Washington (Go Huskies!). My passions include running, traveling, politics, plants, and officiating football.
Hey, Lynx! I am so excited to join of the community at Lincoln. I grew up in Edmonds and fell in love with the Puget Sound at young age. For awhile, I was determined to become a marine biologist, so I volunteered at the Seattle Aquarium throughout high school. However, I discovered a passion for sharing the magic of science with others, so I decided to pursue a career in education. I attended Gonzaga University in Spokane (Go Zags!) where I received my B.A. in Biology and my Secondary Education Teaching Certification. The highlight of my undergrad experience was studying abroad in the Turks and Caicos Islands. There, I scuba dived and completed research on sea turtle and eagle ray conservation.
After graduation, I stayed in Spokane and taught high school Biology and AP Biology. I am thrilled to be back home on this side of the state where I am closer to my family, the ocean, and amazing coffee. When I am not teaching, you can expect to find me doing yoga, looking for sea shells at the beach, watching Gonzaga basketball, or listening to true crime podcasts at a coffee shop.
I am excited to teach AP Psychology and Health at Lincoln! I have always loved learning and teaching. During my undergraduate studies, I pursued a B.A. in Biology and Women’s Studies and a minor in Psychology. I earned a medical degree from the University of Washington and completed a residency in Psychiatry. I enjoyed the opportunity to teach medical students and junior physicians over the years and ran a private psychiatric practice for over a decade. I look forward to continuing to bring my passion for psychology and health and my industry experience to the classroom. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and friends, watching movies, and taking long walks with my dog.
I was born and raised in CA and just recently got married and moved to WA with my husband. I earned my Bachelor’s in Mathematics and Bilingual Teaching Credential from San Diego State University in 2013, then eventually earned my Masters in Mathematics Teaching from California State University of Fullerton.
I’m huge on building relationships with my colleagues and students and look forward to my time at LHS.
Hello! I am excited to be a Math Teacher at Lincoln High School. I grew up in Issaquah Washington and attended UW for both my undergrad and Master's program. I have a BA in Mathematics with a minor in Informatics, as well as a Master's in Teaching. I am thankful for the opportunity to join the Lincoln High School community this year and can't wait to meet and learn more about the students and the community!
My name is Zach Long (he/him). I am relatively new to the Seattle area, as I moved here in 2021 to begin my graduate degree in the Language, Literacy, and Culture program at the University of Washington College of Education. I was raised in Texas and attended the University of Texas at Austin where I received a B.S. in Communication Studies in 2018. I then taught English Language Arts in the Austin area for 3 years. I am passionate about authentic writing instruction, meaningful reading instruction, and building an equitable learning environment. In my spare time I enjoy reading queer YA novels, watching movies, agonizing over UT football, and spending time with my dog, Ranger. I am thrilled to be joining the Lincoln community!
I'm excited to teach science at Lincoln! I grew up in North Carolina, went to Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA, and fell in love with the PNW. I got my masters in teaching at UW and have taught in Seattle, Salt Lake City, UT, and Charlottesville, VA. When not teaching, I can be found mountain climbing, gardening, or experimenting with recipes. I love a good experiment!
