Seattle Public Schools

Hello! I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii before attending Occidental College. After receiving my BA in Physics, I obtained a MA in Teaching Secondary Mathematics. I was a high school math teacher in Los Angeles and a middle school environmental sustainability teacher before moving to Seattle to pursue a PhD in Math Education. As I completed my doctoral studies, I worked in various roles in teacher education at the University of Washington. Now I’m back in the classroom excited to support future educators!

Work Hard; Play Hard; Love Fully; Laugh Often; Smile Always.

Teaching is a joy! I am excited and thrilled to be working at Lawton Elementary School. Everyday is an opportunity to grow, learn, and love.
