I was born and raised in Seattle and have been teaching at Nathan Hale since 2000. I graduated from the University of Washington's Jackson School and got my Masters in Teaching from Seattle U. I love and appreciate our students, families and staff - Nathan Hale is a great community!

I feel lucky to be able to learn about the world with, and from, students! That includes past and present stories and topics. And it also includes family stories, neighborhood and city stories, and national and global stories. And all of those essential stories are told from multiple perspectives and in different ways. In my classes the primary goal is to exercise how we learn, think, talk about and engage with the world, rather than primarily to achieve a certain level of "factual" content knowledge. Needless to say, we've got plenty to do in our History and Humanities classes!
