I am a local girl who was born and raised in Portland, and am now raising four children here as well. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Human Development from Warner Pacific College, and my Masters of Arts in Teaching from Concordia University. Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I believe that children are their own individual person. As a teacher, my job is to teach children, care for them, and help them grow academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
