After graduating from Vashon High, I attended Western Washington University’s Woodring College of Education in Bellingham. Upon completing my degree and  teacher certification I moved to Portland Oregon where I taught at Peninsula K-8. The desire to be closer to family prompted my husband and I to return to Vashon the summer of 2016. I am happy to be back on this beautiful island and honored to work with the amazing families at Chautauqua.
