Biography

It is a great joy to teach English to our Hazel Wolf students who speak other languages at home! Our Hazel Wolf community speaks over 35 languages and our families come from around the world.

When I'm not teaching English, I enjoy nature, making music, sports, games, dancing and spending time with my spunky family.

September 2015 marks the start of my seventh year with our Hazel Wolf community. I teach combined classes of sixth grade language arts and social studies, and eighth grade social studies, working in humanities disciplines wherever I can.

About me: I can generally be found chasing after my own two middle school children (or being chased.) When not occupied thusly, I am known to read, play games, make music, and occasionally jot words upon paper.
