About Me...
I am super excited for this school-year at Ogden Middle School!
This will be my 6th year teaching 7th grade Social Studies at OMS. I am the first to admit that I'm a full-time history dork, even though I found it pretty boring growing up...all the more reason why I try and make it fun and interesting for all of my students! I look forward to exploring our world's history together and learning about your individual histories and cultures. |
History & Education

I am a proud native Oregonian born and raised in Eastern Oregon. I have also been fortunate to have studied and lived abroad in Spain, England, and the Czech Republic.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in both History and Spanish from Willamette University (Salem, Oregon), Master's Degree in International Relations from King's College (London, England) and Master's Degree in Secondary Education from Lewis & Clark College (Portland, Oregon). Throughout my teaching career, I have taught several grade levels and subjects including English as a Second Language at the community college level, high school U.S. and World History, high school English, 6th grade World History & Geography and 7th grade World History & Geography. |
Hobbies & Passions
|
I am thankful my parents instilled in me a great sense of adventure and exploration. I love traveling to new places and learning about different cultures! Spending time outdoors is a priority of mine. I love hiking, skiing, jogging, walking and exploring with my family. I also love to cook, spend time with family and friends and read. I am the proud mama of two hilarious, adventurous kids: Elise and Will.
