This is my sixth year, fifth school, and third state in my teaching career! I have a backgroud in special education and a passion for creating inclusive spaces where all learners can thrive. I am thrilled to be joining the Holy Family community as my Husband and I settle in Portland, where he grew up. We have a number of close friends who attended Holy Family and went to 1st grade in the classroom where I will be teaching! I love to cook, picnic, sing and practice yoga.
