This year was a NY Road trip and Australia!  Uuvlaalautaq!  I've worked in Bush AK for 5 years now and taught in Hawaii 10 years. I hope to retire from here and enjoy Selawik for the next many years. I teach HS English.  I have a passion for reading and hope the students will find value in their reading skills and book enjoyment. I hope to get to know all my parents and ALL Elders soon.  I enjoy playing violin and organ for church and funerals. Music is a big part of my life and I hope to share that passion with the students. My faith is a big part of who I am and I enjoy the faithful people of Selawik that I have met and have been so welcoming to me.

I have a BS in Special Ed K-12, I have an MS in Reading, and an MS in TESOL.  I worked hard and graduated from all my classes with a 4.0 from shear work. I hope to encourage students to follow their hearts to do whatever they are interested in as adults for careers and subsistence and passions they have.
