I was born in Portland and raised on a carnival. My family owned a traveling carnival so my first jobs were twirling cotton candy and making corn dogs, managing the ski ball game and selling novelties during parades. During college I was a pizza delivery driver and a high school tennis coach.
I completed high school in Vancouver, Washington at Prairie High School. I earned my undergraduate degree at Washington State University (Go Cougs!) and my Master’s degree at Lewis and Clark College. I have been a counselor for 19 years and I have worked at all levels, preK – 12. I spent my first year as a counselor in Aberdeen, Washington split between two very different elementary schools. After a year in Aberdeen, I was offered a job in Hawaii! I moved to Hawaii two weeks after that and began working as a middle school counselor on the island of Oahu. I lived and worked in Hawaii for four years and then I decided to move home. Living on an island was great, but nothing beats the Pacific Northwest! When I moved home, I found a job at Franklin High School. This began my career in ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ. After two years at Franklin, my position was cut and I was placed at two different schools; Creative Science School and Pioneer. Being half-time at two schools is very hard so after a year of that, I was very happy to be offered a job at Lincoln High School. I have been at Lincoln since August of 2010 and have loved every minute of it.
During my free time, I love going to Portland Thorns and Timbers soccer matches. My favorite Thorns player is Christine Sinclair and my favorite Timbers player is Valeri. People that I work with call me the “loud and funny” one. I think that comes from being raised on a carnival. I also like going to concerts and watching Broadway plays. My favorite play of all time is “Mama Mia.” Overall, I’m just a fun counselor who likes to advocate for every student on my caseload so that they have all the opportunities to become their best selves. My favorite dessert is Maple Doughnuts from Kyra's Bake Shop!
