Experience

30+ years in education! I have taught everything from K through University levels along with a little time teaching at a correctional facility. It's hard to stay out of the classroom.

Awards & shining teacher moments

A former student writing me to tell me they succeeded.

My own education history

Pacific Lutheran University '91 B.A. Ed, Reading/Sped minor City University '94 M.Ed. Curriculum and Instruction Too many classes to remember!

Additional biographical information

I don't do cute for the sake of cute. But I do put a great deal of thought and care into what I create. Always with 'How is this beneficial to kids?" in mind.
