Biographical Info
I grew up in 6 states and 7 school districts, but the classroom has always felt like home. I earned my BA from Berkeley, studying the intersection of modern art and computer science- which is a concept I love exploring in the geometry classroom! Before coming to TSAS, I taught math and graphic design in other TPS high schools, and worked in the STEM space for tribal governments and local nonprofits.
I have previously served as a teacher fellow with the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Outside of school, I love to crochet, weave, play trivia, and go on road trips with my husband and our dog.
I attended public schools from kindergarten through earning my masters, and I believe there is no greater institution for building knowledge, community, and life skills.
