I LOVE to learn. My natural inquisitiveness and curiosity led me to two undergraduate majors that emphasize learning more about the people and world we live in. I have also earned an MEd in Instruction and Curriculum Design and in Educational Leadership. I have a passion for math and science. I love pi, partial quotients (in the right circumstances), and patterns of all kids. I believe in setting big goals and honoring the path that it takes to get there. I recently completed a 316-mile bike tour from Idaho to Arizona. I have spent the last decade and a half involved in EL Education, first as a parent, then as a school leader, and as a founding teacher at GreenWood. I have a firm belief that each student has unique gifts and abilities that will make our learning purposeful, meaningful, and fun! I believe in empowering students, teachers, and families with the confidence to take good risks that will allow them to do more than they thought possible.
