- About Me:
- Currently teaching 5 and 6 grade students in a magnet program for students with dyslexic tendencies in the beautiful state of Washington. In my teaching career, I have had the blessing of teaching at every grade level from pre-K to 6th in places as varied as the Navajo Nation, Texas, Ecuador, Kenya and Indonesia. I am a proud Texan who loves living and working in beautiful Washington. I have a Masters Degree in Education with an English as a Second Language and a Social Studies Endorsement. I love trying out new techniques and technology in my classroom. I consider herself a bit of a technogeek. Travel is a passion for me. I have traveled extensively on 6 continents and have lived and worked on 4. I am currently a member of the Discovery Educators Network, serving on the Northwest Leadership council as blogger. I also serve as a volunteer regional educator resource for Heifer International, an organization that works with sustainable development around the world. I am a recipient of a Qwest Grant for Innovative Use of Technology, the EETT Technology Peer Coaching Grant and the Best Buy Teaching grant. My husband and I enjoy walking our giant mutt Roswell, going on roadtrips, camping, gardening and restoring and renovating our 100 year old home in Mount Vernon.
