bio:
To give you a quick impression of who I am besides a math teacher,
I’ve always been a musician, athlete, and craftsy.
Recently I’ve also begun to enjoy gardening. Family has
always been important to me. Those of you from Sunset know my
husband, Mark. He is now at Highland Terrace. We have
two kids. Sarah is 10 and loves to dance, play with her
American Girl doll Marisol, and refine her interior decorating
skills. She is teaching this tomboy about femininity (I
purchased my first purse a few years ago). Chris is 8 and
loves to climb tall trees, build things, and play video
games. I'll be helping coach his soccer team this fall.
Go Komodos!
My parents and five older siblings moved to Shoreline in the late
60’s. I graduated from Shorewood in 1989; though I was
actually only at Shorewood for two semesters, the bookends of my
high school years. My dad worked for the Corps of Engineers,
and he got the opportunity to work in Germany. So, for two
years I lived in the little village of Queckborn and attended
Giessen American HS. Getting used to “the
military” was more of a culture shock than getting used to
Germany. For a few months, following the 1986 bombing of
Libya, we even had soldiers armed with machine guns guarding our
school. We eventually moved about 100 miles away to the
little town of Nieder Ulm. I transferred to Wiesbaden
American HS, where Priscilla Presley was a student when she met
Elvis. I loved living in Europe; but, the time came to go back
home. I finished up my senior year right here. In fact, I
think my driver’s ed class was in the very portable that I
taught in last year.
The two most difficult years of my life were 7th and 8th
grade. Crazy, confusing, conflicted. If you’ve
been going through some rough times, I hope that this is the year
that things get better for you.
Like many kids, I originally wanted to be a rock star when I grew
up. Then, in 10th grade, I started thinking about being a
teacher. My best friend’s mom was my Chemistry teacher
and her dad was my math teacher and volleyball coach. It was
a natural fit for me. I went to the UW and did my student
teaching at Einstein in 1994. Then I taught and coached at a
small Christian secondary school in Mountlake Terrace. In
1999, I temporarily traded my backpack and textbooks in for a
diaper bag and Dr. Seuss. I left my comfort zone of working
with teenagers and started teaching the toddlers and pre-K classes
at our church. Three years ago, I jumped back to where
I belong, teaching math here at Shorewood. This year,
I’ll be teaching Geometry for periods 2, 4, and 6. I am
also part of the AVID team.
I am looking forward to getting to know you and helping you grow as
an individual. Let’s have a great year!
