Where are you from? 

I am lucky to have grown up right here in Ocean Shores! I attended the North Beach School District since pre-school. I graduated from high school in 2001!

High school and college experience 

After graduation, I attended Eastern Washington University in Cheney, WA. While I was there, I studied English and obtained my teaching degree in December of 2005.

Years of teaching experience 

 I began teaching English in the Fall of 2006. Prior to that, I coached basketball at North Beach in the winter of 2005. I continued to coach basketball until 2010 and coached volleyball between 2006 and 2010. Since coming back to NB in 2006, I taught English until 2014, when I transitioned into school administration.  

Areas of knowledge Since graduating from Eastern in 2005, I continued my education to obtain a Master's Degree in Special Education and School Administration.

Words of wisdom 

The best advice I can give is aimed to encourage: YOU are your only barrier. 

Favorite quote:

The best quote is "Once a Hyak, always a Hyak," which has been repeated to me throughout my time as a student and employee of the district by one of my coaches, friends, and mentors, Bob Sutter. It is absolutely true for me, and I am dedicated to North Beach and its students and families. 

How would you describe yourself and your hobbies and interests:

 My hobbies and interests outside of school include everything and anything to do with my family. I love spending time with them and sharing their new experiences in life and loving the outdoors.
