Welcome to my class. I teach 8th grade Language Arts and 7th grade Achieve (an academic support class).

I have been teaching at Woodward for many years, and I love the energy of middle school students. They keep me on my toes!

I live on Bainbridge Island, and my two sons went through school here—from Blakely to BHS. As of 2024, they are both at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. We like to hike, bike, SUP, travel, play board games, and embark on adventures together. Some of us are also avid gardeners and some of us (not me, unfortunately) are very creative artistically.

I'm looking forward to a great year.
