Hello! My name is Mrs. Casey and I grew up in Eagle River, Alaska. I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. After working in the oil industry as a fuels chemist and as a safety consultant I craved having a career that let me spend less time with spreadsheets and more time having a direct impact. After an a-ha moment while substitute teaching, I returned to school and got my Master of Education from the University of Fairbanks. I am so excited to be a part of the Shaw Elementary family and on this Kindergarten adventure!

My family - Mr. Casey and I currently live in Chugiak, but as we have begun to outgrow our property we are in the process of moving to a farm in the valley. We currently have a 12-year-old Collie mix named Yogi, a bunny named Pablo, and a flock of ducks and chickens!

My hobbies - All things animals, baking, and lots of dancing!
