I am a Washington native, having grown up in Bothell. I attended the University of Washington, where I earned a degree in Spanish and Education. I received a Masters In Education through City University. I have been teaching Spanish at Roosevelt since 2000. I enjoy hiking, skiing and camping with my son and husband, attending concerts, hanging out with friends and family, and speaking Spanish of course!
