Personal History

I grew up in San Francisco, California. I have grown twin boys.

I enjoy hiking, skiing, camping, drawing, music, and traveling.

Professional History

I've been teaching for twelve years at the elementary level. Prior to that, I taught for five years in preschool. I believe motivating kids to love learning is the primary mission of a successful teacher. I enjoy incorporating the following things in my curriculum.

• Art
• Quality Literature
• Performance
• Field Trips

Interesting Notes

My favorite field trips are to the tide pools, theater, and the Seattle International Children's Festival.
