Cossatot River School District

I have been in education for 10 years. I teach FACS in the morning and Elementary Library in the afternoon, both at Umpire. I have a 12 year old son, Jacoby. He plays all the sports. It takes up most of my time but I love every second of it!!

This will be my sixth year as a special education paraprofessional at Cossatot River School district's Umpire campus. My husband Kevin and I have two daughters: Sheena and Brittany. We also have four grandchildren: James, Jalyn, Olivia, and Keeli.

I have lived in Umpire my whole life and graduated from Umpire High School. I enjoy working at Umpire School because of the close-knit community atmosphere where everyone works hard for our students.
