I was born in Chelan, Wa and grew up between Manson and Wenatchee. I graduated from Wenatchee High School then Central Washington University. I began my teaching career at Eastmont School District as a special education teacher. I have taught elementary special education, second and third grade. I have been teaching in Manson since 2007. My passion is teaching students who have challenges to identify, understand and overcome.
In my extra time, I have found a creative outlet in owning and helping to run a local family restaurant. I also love spending time with my family and friends exploring and finding new adventures in skiing, biking and hiking and supporting my three children in activities they enjoy.
