It is difficult
to get the news from poems

yet men die miserably every day

for lack

of what is found there.

Personal Message

Hello!  I grew up on Mercer Island, and graduated from MIHS (1984).  I received my BA in Political Science and Spanish from University of Washington (1988), and my MA in Foreign Affairs/Latin American Government from the University of Virginia (1990). I served in the Peace Corps in Ecuador (1994-96), taught at Charles Wright Academy (1997-2000), and received my teaching certificate from Western Washington University (2002) before arriving at Ingraham in 2002. I spend my time hiking, out with my dog, at the gym, and with my husband Don, regional sales manager for a winery in the Willamette Valley.

Biography

I grew up in Salt Lake City and attended college in California before settling here in beautiful Washington State. I earned my BA in English and French from Pitzer College and a Master’s degree in Comparative Literature from the University of Washington. It has been my great pleasure to teach at Ingraham since 2002.
