Hello! I have been an secondary educator in Seward, Alaska for 16 years.  Currently, I teach 7th and 8th grade social studies at Seward Middle School. I love to travel.  Exploring the world opens my eyes to the diverse environments, people, and ideas that make our planet so amazing.  I take the lessons and experiences from my exploration back to my classroom, building meaningful learning opportunities that matter to students. 
My spare time in Alaska is spent enjoying the outdoors with my friends and family.
