In 3rd grade when I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I did not go the same route as my idealistic peers. In the year book, next to the pop stars and astronauts, was a picture I drew of myself as a teacher. After majoring in Education and minoring in Special Education at University of Oregon (Go Ducks!), and completing my MAT at Lewis and Clark, I am excited to make my 3rd grade drawing a reality - minus the oversized feet.
I feel beyond fortunate to be part of this incredible profession and I am grateful that I get to work with students that inspire me and that I learn from every day. It is an absolute pleasure to be part of the strong and supportive community at Stephenson Elementary. We are going to have an amazing
year!
