Hello, students and parents,
I am so excited to be your child's 8th grade ELA teacher! I'm starting my third-year of teaching; however, this is my first year at Lake Olympia Middle School.  I am retired from the Air Force and was a Social Worker for several years. In these roles, you will notice that my passion is helping and being of service to others. Teaching falls right in line with that passion!

Outside the classroom, I most enjoy spending quality time with my family, reading, cooking and attending sporting events. I am truly looking forward to an AMAZING school year as I motivate, encourage and inspire my students!

As with every year, I look forward to the wonderful growth my students will make as readers, writers, critical thinkers, and speakers of English language Arts. 

Welcome to middle school, Mustangs!
