I have the privilege of teaching grades 2–4 at Olympia Christian School. I hold a master’s degree in education and have taught both multigrade and single-grade classrooms in private and public schools. In my classroom, students publish a class book each year and grow in their communication skills through regular book talks and even chapel presentations.

My husband, Sam, teaches band and orchestra in the Tacoma School District, and we are blessed with two college-aged sons. I am thankful for the opportunity to help students grow both academically and in their walk with Christ.
