I am truly excited to be beginning my fourth year here at Beverly Cleary (four
years? ... wow!). Before coming here I taught @ Lane MS in southeast Portland.
I am the parent of a middle schooler (da Vinci) and a ninth grader (Cleveland)
so I can sympathize with the trials of the teenage years! My wife and I moved
to Portland almost twenty years ago and like many others we never left.
I have a B.A. (microbiology) from the Univ. of TX-Austin and an M.Ed. from PSU.
My goals for this year are to foster independent thinking, creativity and
cooperative learning skills in all my students.
