èßäapp¹ÙÍø

I am an Oregonian, born and raised in èßäapp¹ÙÍø's southeast suburb of Milwaukie. I earned my B.S. in Biology at Shawnee State University in Ohio and completed my Masters in Teaching at Lewis & Clark College. I started my career in North Clackamas nearly 25 years ago as a high school science teacher and girls basketball coach for many years. Following my classroom experiences, I took on the role of Dean of Students in North Clackamas and worked as an Equity and Instructional Coach in the Teaching and Learning Dept before moving to èßäapp¹ÙÍø. I have two pretty incredible 14-year-old twins of my own, Olivia and Lincoln, that will be attending Ida B. Wells next year. If you know me, you know I'm passionate about equity and inclusion. I'm an avid outdoor enthusiast and one fun fact about me: I live on a floating home on Sauvie Island. I'm honored to be serving the Ida B. Wells community; reach out anytime.
