Growing up on the North Umpqua River in southern Oregon, I developed a deep love of mountains, trees, and rivers.  I moved north after high school and eventually found my way to the gorge in 1997. 

Thus far in my teaching career, I've had the opportunity to teach all subjects at the middle school level.  It's been quite a ride, and while I get pretty jazzed about science and health and social studies, I am especially passionate about math!  

I'm extremely proud to be a Panther and to be a part of the team at HRMS!

When I'm not teaching, you can find me chasing my husband and my kids on my bike or my skis or out for a run with our dog.
