I am a Social and Emotional Learning instructor for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. I attended the University of Washington for my M.Ed. and Gonzaga University for my B.A. in Psychology. For the past eleven years I worked as an IA in special education classrooms for SPS as well as coached Cross Country, Special Olympics basketball and Special Olympics Unified Soccer. Mindfulness, kinesiology, soccer, weightlifting, and the culinary arts are a few of my widely varied interests. I continue to be impressed by my colleagues at Eckstein and am lucky to be a part of such a professional and positive environment.
