Hi there and welcome,

We are off to a great start here at Victory Middle School.  I'm so glad you're here.  

A little about me:  I have been lucky enough to teach a variety of subjects and grades. I started my career teaching high school drama and moved on to high school English. Later, I moved down to 8th grade English and then 7th grade reading. My Bachelor of Arts degree is from the University of Portland in Portland, Oregon and I have a Master's degree in Reading from Boise State University. I am also a Reading Specialist.  

This year I am excited to be teaching English 6, Exploratory Communications, and Yearbook. I will also have a section of Creative Writing/Exploratory Reading for 2nd semester.  

I come from a family of teachers and love my profession. I have one son and two dogs. I am also very well traveled. I've lived in 9 states and have visited 11 other countries.  

My hobbies include running, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, camping, reading and visiting new places.
