I grew up in Shoreline and now I live in Edmonds. I earned my
BAE from Pacific Lutheran University in ‘84 and my MAE from
Seattle Pacific University in ‘93. The 2007-2008 school year
is my 23rd year in Shoreline!
I love music – I often go to the symphony and
to chamber music concerts. I enjoy singing, dancing, playing the
piano and playing the flute. I also enjoy going to the movies. My
favorite movies include Pride & Prejudice, The Shawshank
Redemption, West Side Story, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The English
Patient and any of the Harry Potter films. I also like to laugh a
lot, walk fast, play volleyball, take photos, create scrapbooks and
read. A few of my favorite authors are Maeve Binchy, Anne Rivers
Siddons, J. K. Rowling, Louis Sachar and Farley Mowat. My beverage
of choice is a tall, vanilla, non-fat latte with extra foam - or a
tall, nonfat orange mocha!
My family includes my mom, one sweetheart (Darryl), three sisters
& their husbands, one niece, three nephews, one nephew-in-law,
three nieces-in-law, one grandnephew and three grandnieces. Whew!
That’s a lot of family!
Each year I have a room full of wonderful third graders. They
constantly inspire me with their intelligence, their curiosity and
their good humor. I love kids, and I love to teach!
