I have been teaching students for 18 years, and have taught in both Middle and High Schools. My personal educational training was at Lewis and Clark College where I earned my MAT in Social Studies, and from the University of Arizona where I earned a BA in Sociology and Political Science.
This will be my 6th year teaching 6th graders at da Vinci Middle School. Prior to teaching at da Vinci I taught Leadership and Entrepreneurship to 9th graders at LEP High School. I was also at the M.I.T.C.H. Middle School Charter School where I taught English Language Arts, Social Studies, Math and Science to students in grades 6-8.
In my free-time I am a freelance music journalist for Billboard, Gilde, and Jambase Magazines I have published over 70 articles and have co-authored a book. I was also Oregon's Team Leader in voter registration with Headcount-National Non Partisan Voter Registration Organization for 12 years.
I am thrilled to meet all the new 6th grade daVinci students and their families.
