She is passionate about inclusive, student-centered learning. “My ultimate goal as an educator is to help students to learn to the best of their abilities, and to provide support for all of my students to access knowledge, materials, participation, and contribution to the classroom community.”

She was drawn to the BASIS Independent Bothell community for how it values every single member of the school and the unique structure of the primary grades. She shared, “I absolutely love the structure of BASIS Independent Schools. I love that the Learning Expert Teacher and Subject Expert Teacher get to collaborate to provide the best education for our students.”

A favorite lesson of hers includes teaching about Chinese New Year, where students explored cultural traditions and made wonton soup together.

Outside the classroom, she enjoys paddleboarding in the Puget Sound, reading, working out, and solving jigsaw puzzles. Fun fact: “It's been years since I've gone a morning without a cup of coffee!”
