I am a native of Washington and was born and raised in Bellevue. After graduating from Interlake High School, I went to Washington State University. To this day, I am a proud Cougar and love the fact that Sultan Elementary is the home of the Cougars as well! I began teaching at Sultan Elementary in 1991 and have been here ever since. I love working in a small town that has such an amazing sense of community. I have been married for 14 years and have 2 beautiful girls. Megan is a sixth grader at Sultan Middle School and my daughter Chelsea is in third grade here at S.E.S. In my spare time I enjoy cardmaking, scrapbooking, reading, and spending time with my family.
