I am an Oregonian, born and raised in Portland's southeast suburb of Milwaukie. 我得了B.S. in Biology at Shawnee State University in Ohio and completed my Masters in Teaching at Lewis & 克拉克学院. I started my career in North Clackamas nearly 25 years ago as a high school science teacher and girls basketball coach for many years. Following my classroom experiences, I took on the role of Dean of Students in North Clackamas and worked as an Equity and Instructional Coach in the Teaching and Learning Dept before moving to PPS. I have two pretty incredible 14-year-old twins of my own, Olivia and Lincoln, that will be attending Ida B. 明年的威尔斯. If you know me, you know I'm passionate about equity and inclusion. I'm an avid outdoor enthusiast and one fun fact about me: I live on a floating home on Sauvie Island. I'm honored to be serving the Ida B. Wells community; reach out anytime.
