I started teaching in 2009 as an English as a Foreign Language Teacher in South Korea. I taught upper elementary, middle, and high school students in China and college freshman in Saudi Arabia. I currently teach LASS Quest to 6^th and 8^th graders. I love being a part of the Timberline community. Middle schoolers are rad! In my free time I like to hike, watch movies and tv, exercise (lift weights and run), and travel. I'm a big animal lover. I have two cats and a dog at home and I grew up on a horse farm and rode competitively until I was about 20.
