I live in Shoreline where my husband and I raised our 4 sons. They are all grown up and now I have three grandchildren! Besides reading, I like to sew, surf the internet, find fun apps on my phone, and collect shoes. I also love to try new things like climbing along a Via Feratta in the Swiss Alps or climbing Mount Si in North Bend, WA.
I consider myself to be a life-long learner. Besides a Bachelor degree from Western Washington University, I have a Masters in Teaching from the University of Washington, earned my Professional Teaching Certificate from Seattle Pacific University, and my Library Media Certificate from the University of Washington. I've also completed a Project Management Certificate and a Certificate in E-Learning Instructional Design as well as participated in the Northwest Writer's Project.
One of my favorite things to do is find good books for students to read. Because I am on the Evergreen Teen Book Award Committee, I read quite a few books every year. While my favorite genre is Sci-Fi, I also read a lot of Fantasy and Realistic Fiction (i.e. teen angst). Stop by the library and let me help find a good book for you!
