       Professional Biography:  I received my Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees at Central Washington University in Nutritional Science and went on to work as a Registered Dietitian for 7 years.  I realized my favorite part of my job was teaching so decided to go back to school to become certified as a high school teacher.  I attended Saint Martin's University for my credentials.  I spent one year working at Centralia Middle School and then landed at my alma mater Tumwater High School where I have been teaching for 19 years!
