Happy New School Year!
This is my 16th year teaching and I am so excited to be here at Lakes, no matter if we are remote, blended or fully in person! This is definitely going to be a year of learning, growing and being willing to dive in to the unknown. I'm excited to learn and grow with you all. Before joining CDA School District in 2015, I taught for three years at Lakeland Jr. High in Rathdrum, and seven years at Inglewood Jr. High in Sammamish, WA (outside of Seattle). I enjoy reading, being outdoors, and spending time with my family in my spare time. My son, Camden (7.5) will be in second grade this year and my daughter, Charlotte (5) will be starting kindergarten! My husband, Joey, works downtown and we love this area and community. When we are not hanging out at home, you can find us on our pontoon on Hayden Lake or on the golf course!
Lakes is truly an amazing place to work. We are a true family and I'm so excited to get to know you and build our community. I'm looking forward to new adventures, new learning, and new thinking as we venture together in English Language Arts.
