Years at PBE: This is my 2nd year at PBE. 

Years in Education: This is my 4th year in education. 

About Me: I grew up in the Steilacoom/DuPont area of Washington where I went through elementary, middle, and high school. When I graduated, I attended Central Washington University as a Music Education/Clarinet Performance Major. This quickly changed to Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education once I realized what passion I had for teaching subjects other than music. Since then, I have been teaching elementary school. As most of the people who have met me know, I am very nerdy. I love anime, video games, movies, and comics! I love sharing all of these passions with my students and building connections with them through my hobbies! Again as most people know, Pokémon is my absolute jam. I love playing the card games and the video games with my friends and going to large tournaments!

Why I Love Working at PBE: love teaching at PBE because of how I was welcomed. When I first arrived, I was very accustomed to being just another face in the crowd. However, I was welcomed warmly and with lots of enthusiasm that made a very lasting impression on me. I quickly began to love the area and the community and before I knew it, I was hooked!
