Laurin Middle School

Bio: I have been teaching at Laurin since 2000; the first seven at 7th grade and 8th grade ever since. I teach algebra, 8th grade math and science. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish from Pacific University, where I also played fastpitch softball and spent a semester in Ecuador as an exchange student. Several years after earning my BA, I decided to pursue a teaching career and earned my Masters in Teaching at City University. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband of 26 years, being a mom to a son (currently at University of Redlands & a 2020 grad of Prairie) and a daughter (a sophomore at Prairie). I also teach Zumba classes, enjoy working out, doing yard work and watching sports.
