I am originally from Baker City, Oregon. I attended Western Oregon State College, where I received my Bachelor of Science. After that, I had my children, Paige (21) and Abbey (18). I earned my MEd from Oregon State (Go Beavs!) in 2013. I currently have one beagle, Luna (4 years old). In my free time, I love to read, sew, scrapbook, play with my dog, and spend time with my girls. I also volunteer and run a Girl Scout Day camp. This is my thirteenth year of teaching and my seventh year at Bethany. Third grade is full of new ideas and fun projects. I am excited to be working with this group of students. My favorite part of third grade is teaching cursive and working on end of unit projects.
