This is my nineth year teaching in the Auburn School District. My first year I taught second grade at Lakeview Elementary. Since then I have been a first grade teacher at Hazelwood. I am graduate of the Auburn School District and attended Lea Hill Elementary, Cascade Junior High and Auburn High School. I graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in Business Administration. 
I have two sons. 
Collin is a senior at the University of Washington majoring in economics. Garrett is an 12th grader at Mountainview High School and likes to run cross country and track.

When Garrett was born I stopped working in accounting and opened a home daycare. That allowed me to stay home with my own children. My temporary job lasted 9 years! When I closed my daycare I decided to follow in my mother's footsteps and become a teacher. I attended City University where I earned my Masters in Teaching in 2000.

I like to travel and got to spend a week at Whistler this summer. My hobbies and passions include quilting during the winter and gardening the rest of the year.

I love teaching first graders! I love to see them learn to read and am continually amazed by the growth they make during the year.

I am looking forward to a fabulous year!

Thank you for sharing your children with me!
