I have been a teacher for over 20 years and I have taught in many countries. I grew up in the Netherlands, in Europe. I studied Chinese and Mongolian in Leeds in England and I worked for many years in Mongolia and in London. I have been Seattle since 2000 and I taught at the University of Washington and at Mercer Middle School and James Baldwin, before coming to Whitman Middle School.
I received my master's degree from the University of Oregon in Communication Disorders and Sciences. I enjoy working with students individually and in small groups as well as joining our History and Science classrooms. My favorite food is chicken wings!
