This is my 12th year teaching in the Steilacoom School District.  I teach 7th grade Health/Fitness classes.  I also coach the Dance Team and JV Volleyball Team at Pioneer.  I graduated from Steilacoom High School and received my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from Central Washington University.  After working a couple of years as a Psychiatric Child Care Counselor at Child Study and Treatment Center, I went to Washington State University (GO COUGS!) to get my Master's Degree in Education and then my Teaching Certificate with endorsements in Health/Fitness and Special Education from Saint Martin's University.
