I am a dedicated and dynamic educator with a passion for supporting student growth through meaningful instruction and emotional connection. I currently teach middle school social studies and language arts at Willamette Connections Academy, where I leverage technology to create engaging, student-centered learning experiences in a virtual setting. With a Master’s in Teaching from Washington State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University, I bring a unique blend of academic expertise and emotional intelligence to my work in education.

Before entering the field of education, I co-founded and operated Posy Lane, Inc., an online retail company that I ran successfully for over a decade. My entrepreneurial experience sharpened my skills in leadership, operations, and communication—skills I now bring to my work in school and with colleagues.More...
