I grew up in Ohio and taught 4th grade when I graduated from the University of Akron. I moved to Arizona and taught 5th and 6th grade there. Arizona is where I met Mr. Miller, who was from Oregon, which is how I landed here! I have been teaching 5th grade for TTSD since moving up to the Portland area. I am proud to have graduated from George Fox University with my Masters in Reading a short time ago!
We enjoy hiking and pretty much anything outdoors. Buck is our Australian Cattle Dog, and he goes with us everywhere.
I am a big sports fan, especially for the Ohio State Buckeyes, Portland Trailblazers, and Portland Timbers. Watching college football is one of my favorite things to do. And... I am a platypus: neither a Duck nor a Beaver (I like going to games in either Eugene or Corvallis!)
