I'm excited to move to Whidbey Island and join the third grade team at Crescent Harbor Elementary School. I was born and raised in Southern California and spent ten years teaching in Long Beach before my love of travel took me on an international teaching adventure.
I spent two years in Japan working as an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher), providing support and activities for Japanese teachers during their English classes. Following that I taught at a small international school in Germany for two years.
Most recently I've been teaching in rural Alaska where I lived and worked in two remote villages in the interior teaching in multi-grade classrooms. My teaching experience ranges from pre-school to 6th grade.
In my free time I enjoy swimming, cooking, traveling, and the great outdoors; I look forward to getting to know your students and helping them grow socially and academically this year.
