Born and raised in Kitsap County, I actually attended CKMS back when it was still a Jr. High School and graduated from CKHS in 2006. After high school, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance & Accounting and went to work in the nonprofit world. After a decade of crunching numbers for work and spending all my free time with people (especially volunteering with children/youth), I realized it was time for a career change! Going back to school was the best decision I ever made, and I earned my Masters of Science in School Counseling from Capella University in 2020.
I’ve worked at the elementary, middle, and high school levels in the North Kitsap and Chimacum School Districts - but middle school has always been my favorite. I love being back at CKMS and I'm so excited to be a Cub again.Students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade are experiencing this amazing blend of drastic personal growth, crazy challenges, and really discovering/deciding the grown human they want to be. Being a helpful, reliable resource throughout that time is my dream job!
My husband Ross, daughter Emery, son Townes, and I like to spend our free time hiking in the Olympics, camping on rivers or the beach, fishing our gorgeous PNW waters, or cozying up with our doggos on the couch to binge watch whatever show we’re into. I love reading good fiction, trying to grow new flowers and veggies each year, and learning new/interesting/weird things from all the wonderful people I get to talk to every day.
