About Ms. BfI am so excited to be teaching again at Parkdale Elementary this year. I taught a 2/3 blend last year and adored the staff, students and families. A little background about me is I grew up in Portland, Oregon and then went to college at Oregon State University. Go Beavs! :) I moved to Bend to get my Masters in the Art of Teaching (MAT) and my English for Speakers of Other Languages endorsement (ESOL). While I was getting my ESOL endorsement, I was a teacher at a summer school called Brain Camp. We focused on language growth as well as the study of the brain and how it is all connected. When I completed my schooling, I was hired as a 5th grade temporary teacher. While I enjoyed living and working in Bend, I was looking for a smaller town feel to live and teach in so I applied in Hood River. I was so fortunate enough to be welcomed into the Parkdale Elementary family and I cannot wait to begin another school year.

Our Classroom |
My goal is to have our classroom be a "second home" where students can have fun, feel safe and confident in their learning and grow together throughout the school year.
