Hello! I was born and raised in Southern California. I went to college and grad school at the University of Oregon and am a huge Oregon football fan. I have taught for 8 years in grades 2, 3, and 5. I have taught in Phoenix, Arizona, Shanghai, China, and am so happy to now be teaching at Jacob Wismer. My husband and I have a spoiled dog named Ruby and we love hiking and camping with her. When I'm not teaching I love reading, going to movies, reading, traveling, reading, and visiting with family and friends.
