Professional
I am a 1999 graduate of Cedarcrest High School and I grew up in the valley.  After graduating from Cedarcrest I attended Pacific Lutheran University and in 2003 I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Political Science and a B.F.A in Communications/Social Justice & Advocacy.  In 2005 I also earned my Masters Degree in Education with an emphasis in Reading, as well as a Secondary Endorsement in Social Studies from Pacific Lutheran University.  After earning my masters degree I returned to Cedarcrest High School to teach social studies, and I have been a teacher at my alma mater since the 2005-06 school year.  Along with my teaching duties I am also the acting Associated Student Body Advisor and the designated advisor for the class of 2010.

Personal
I'm a rabid Seattle Seahawks fan and you are guaranteed to find me in the seats at Qwest Field for each and every home game. I am also an avid golfer and my golf team took first place at the 2007 REF Golf Tournament at Trilogy Golf Course in Redmond.  I became a teacher because I think it is important to help young people understand the world around them and their role in it.  As a graduate of Cedarcrest, I want to give back to the place that has done so much to support and encourage me.
