I started teaching at West Campus in 2004, and both of my daughters are alumnae of West, so the Warrior Community is dear to me. I am passionate about both the craft of writing and teaching high school, and I have found my niche teaching the AP Language and Composition courses. After serving 12 years as a class advisor (for the classes of 2009, 2013, and 2017), I became the ASB Advisor in 2018.

I earned my BA in English with a Creative Writing Emphasis from UC Davis and my master’s in Creative Writing from the University of Colorado, Boulder. 

In my free time, I love to read, hike, hang out with my dog, spend time with my family, and dance to live music with my friends.
