Q: What are you most looking forward to at Liberty?
A: I’m excited to get to know students with all different interests and backgrounds. I taught middle school previously, and I’m excited to be back in high school with students working towards their futures.
Q: What do you do in your free time?
A: I’m in a book club. It’s been going for seven years now, and we meet every month. Somebody hosts, and we have dinner together, and we read one book every month. It’s been a good way to try different books, and I’ve made a lot of new friends too.

Business teacher (personal finance, economics, future ready)
Q: Where are you from?
A: I am a Washington native. I am originally from Kirkland, so basically, Kirkland Signature is me. I went to Lake Washington High School, then moved away, living in New York, San Francisco, London, and Berlin, but now I’m back.
Q: What do you do in your free time?
A: A big passion of mine is sports in general, but mainly women’s sports. I’m a huge Seattle Storm fan, a huge Seattle Rain fan, so as many times as I can get out to support women’s sports and create more visibility around that space, that’s a huge passion of mine.

Q: What’s the best part about working at Liberty so far?
A: I love working as a team member with the counselors and the special education team. Everyone has been so warm, welcoming, supportive, and collaborative, so we really rely on one another to bring their own strengths to the conversation.
