After receiving my B.A. in Native American Cultural Studies from the  Evergreen State College I earned my teaching degree from the Pacific  Oaks College and a Masters Degree in Educational Administration from the  University of Southern Mississippi. I have taught for 21 years in  Alaska, the last 17 in Anaktuvuk Pass.  My areas of expertise include  language and literacy and Early Childhood Education.

"It has always been my goal for students to develop a life-long love of  learning with a strong belief that they can achieve anything. I am  honored to be chosen as a statewide mentor and look forward to  empowering new teachers as they begin their careers. As a life-long  learner I am also looking forward to the professional development  opportunities that will allow me to grow as an educator.!"
