Biography
I grew up on Tumwater Hill and in the Black Lake area - a proud attendee of Tumwater schools from K-12.  I graduated from Tumwater High School and attended the University of Puget Sound and Central Washington University.  I graduated from CWU in 1994 with honors, and then spent the next 21 years at Tenino Elementary teaching 4th grade, working with many gifted colleagues and wonderfully supportive families.
 
I am now lucky enough to be back "home" at Michael T., the school I attended when I was an elementary student!  I have many fond memories of my caring teachers, and really cherished the time I spent in the big, old, brick building on Linwood Avenue.  My past teachers and experiences at MTS were monumental influences on my decision to become an educator, so I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to be back here, coming full circle.  This is my 32nd year in fourth grade :)
 
Fun Fact: Three generations of our family have been Michael T. students....and possibly another set of grandkids on the way to MTS!
