Hello students and families! I'm looking forward to a great year at Wasilla High School. I love teaching and the unique experiences that I have with all of my students.  I truly believe ALL students are essential to building a cohesive, energetic classroom.  I strive to create an atmosphere where learning and joy go hand in hand.  While education is the upmost importance in our schools, I also believe that fostering responsible, respectful, and safe relationships is essential in the success of my students as individuals.  

I am not originally from Alaska, but have lived in Palmer since 2006.  I grew up and lived most of my life in a small town in rural Oregon, so living in the great Mat-su Valley has been a blessing.  I am married with two sons.  One of my sons is a 2014 graduate of Palmer High School and the other is a 2017 graduate of Colony High School. My husband and I own/operate a commercial fishing business.  In my spare time, I enjoy reading and a great cup of coffee! I love outdoor activities, hiking, kayaking, skiing, and walks are among a few.  I am an avid traveler any chance I can get. 

My door is always open, stop by and say Hi!
