Welcome!
It is a pleasure to live and work in Grant County. I especially enjoy working for Grant School District #3 and with staff members from all three of the schools.
Educational Work Experience
I started my career in teaching as the kindergarten teacher in Monument, Oregon. This is my 20th year working for Grant School District #3. I have taught a variety of classes, K-6, including: Language Arts, Special Education, Jr. First, and Title 1 Reading. I spent six years working as the Director of Special Education, Diagnostician, and D.T.C. for the district. This is my third year as Principal of Humbolt Elementary School. It is an honor to work with amazing students and their families.
During the summers of 2010 and 2011, I worked at Gonzaga University’s Northwest Applied Behavior Analysis Clinic. It is an educational/medical setting that assists with treating children with severe behavioral challenges and feeding disorders. I worked extensively with children and their families. It was a privilege to study under Dr. Tim McLaughlin, Dr. Mark Derby, and Dr. Anjali Barretto.
