Every day I gain insight into how people come to know and understand new ideas. I also love an adventure, so I take calculated risk and embrace change. I have been on leadership teams and taught at a year-round school, a museum school, an early college, a Montessori school, an all women’s leadership academy and a traditional school in North Pole Alaska. Before coming to HGMS, I was a curriculum developer for Amplify Learning writing tablet based middle school math lessons. I missed the “realness” of teaching middle school students. The real world is not something outside of school. It is here, happening every day! I have three grown children (all graduates of WCPSS), one grandchild and my husband John who is my greatest supporter for living an adventurous life. When not teaching I enjoy riding bikes, kayaking, sailing and making silver jewelry “All students WILL succeed”
