I have taught in the Issaquah School District since 1986 and at Sunset since 1989. My 22 years of teaching have included preschool, 2nd grade, special education, and 5th grade (where I've spent the last 10 years). I live in Newcastle with my husband of 22 years and my two daughters, ages 13 and 16. I have a hamster named Elli and will get a new puppy Oct. 29 named Lexi. My passions include golf, volleyball, softball, sleeping late, and having fun.
