I love being part of the Viewlands community as the 4th grade teacher. This is my 6th year teaching, although it really is 7 (I participated in a year long teaching residency program in SPS prior to becoming certified). Prior to Viewlands, I had been teaching at Concord International School in the dual language program as a 4th and 5th grade teacher.
A little about myself. I became a teacher because I believe in the power of education. It has the power to heal, provide happiness, and cultivate a person's emotional and academic growth. Every child deserves a high quality of learning experiences where academic rigor is expected. I hold my students to very high standards in a nurturing environment.
On a personal note, I was born and raised in NYC. I moved out to Seattle in 2006 with my husband. We are raising our multilingual beautiful 11-year-old (soon to be 12) daughter amidst such natural beauty. When I am not teaching, I am active in the literary community: reading and writing or just running and sailing.
