Working with middle school students, families, and staff is one of my greatest joys, and I am thrilled to join the Woodward community! I strongly believe that investing in our youth is the greatest thing that we can do to create healthy and thriving communities. I bring with me over 15 years experience working as a secondary teacher, administrator, and principal--and yet I still learn more from students every day. When I am not at school, you can find me at home with my three young children, three weenie dogs, and my husband, Jonathan. Together, we enjoy serving Bainbridge Island through service and opportunities to promote creativity. At the end of each day, you can typically find me with my family in our garden, cooking a messy meal, or cozied up with a good book. It is important to me that I be an active listener and doer for the Woodward community--please reach out to me to share your hopes and dreams for your students as well as your ideas for how we can partner to serve this amazing community.
