Seattle Public Schools

I have been teaching at Pathfinder since 2004.

This is my 17th year teaching and my 7th year at Pathfinder. Inspired by my work in preschool and Montessori classrooms with young learners, I intended to earn my teaching degree to teach a primary grade. My student-teaching included a quarter in a fifth grade classroom and I discovered the fun in teaching older students. Once I graduated from the University of Portland with my M.A.T, I taught in intermediate bilingual Spanish classrooms for two years in eastern Washington. I then moved back to Seattle and taught fifth grade at Highland Park and West Seattle Elementaries. I finally “graduated” to sixth grade and have been loving this exciting year with my students ever since. I enjoy making 6th grade a fun and memorable year for them.
