I am a social justice advocate, and educator with endorsements in English, Reading, Special Education, and Visual Art. I graduated from Seattle Pacific University in 2004 with a B.A. in English literature and creative writing, and again in 2010 with a M.A. in teaching. I have lived in Wallingford during some formative years and have fond memories of the neighborhood. One of my first teaching jobs was at Seattle Evening School, housed in the old Lincoln High School building.
