Seattle Public Schools

I am a long time early childhood educator with training in child development and education from birth to fifth grade. I taught preschool and circus acrobatics for many years in New York City. I began working within SPS after moving to Seattle in 2013. I love teaching Preschool!

We are already off and running here in Pre-K! We are learning all about each other and all about being in school. We are solving problems, sharing ideas, exploring sand and play dough, paint and crayons, books and blocks. We are moving our bodies through space, creating stories with our imaginations, and talking about our feelings. We love learning in Pre-K!

I am honored to start my 11th year teaching here at Graham Hill in grade 5. I live in south Seattle and taught at Rainier View for the past four years. I am passionate about project based learning and student collaboration. I spent the first 6 years of my teaching career in Korea and Beirut at international schools. I enjoy traveling but appreciate the PNW and being with my family here.

I have worked in education for 14 years, teaching grades K-5. I love being an educator because I get to keep learning from and with my students. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling and experiencing other cultures and cuisines, as well as spending time outdoors running,  hiking, and camping. I am very excited to be joining the Licton Springs team!
