About:
I have been a paraeducator for five years, working with special needs students at Franklin Elementary. This year, due to COVID, I am supporting Wyndi Anderson working with 1st and 2nd grade Seaview students. Learning all the technology has been challenging and I miss seeing students face to face, but I enjoy working with the kids online and am thankful for our google meets.
I have a large family, 4 children, 9 grandchildren and one great grandson that I love to spend time with. I also enjoy the outdoors, hiking, walking my dogs and gardening. Reading is another favorite pastime and this year I am learning to sew which just goes to show, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

About: Role last year in the district - Counseling secretary and Scholarship Coordinator at PAHS (for past 8 years)
Years in Education and where have you worked: I moved to Port Angeles in 2000 (originally from SE Alaska). I've been with PASD for 16 years and have worked in almost every building, with the majority of my time being at the district office and PAHS.
I left the school district when I had my first son in 2002 and started my own business (Twice Upon A Child). I then sold my business in 2008 (after my 2nd son was three years old) and went back to work for PASD.
Hobbies, activities, interests- I enjoy working on my property and in my garden, growing a variety of veggies and flowers (dahlias are my favorite!) My activities and interests include kayaking, hiking, paddle boarding, camping....and anything that get me outside. I also enjoy reading and playing games with my husband, Andy (we married in June 2020). I have two sons: Josh (graduated in June 2020 and attends CWU online - wants to be a pilot) and Joe (10th grade, and anxious to be back in school with his friends).
