(She/Her/Hers) I have taught K-5 visual art, drama, and creative movement in Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. My greatest joy is helping students discover their unique talents and ways to express themselves. My focus is on dismantling barriers to art, so that all students see themselves as artists. I have a B.A. in Art History and a M.Ed. in Arts Integration. When I am not teaching I love gardening, making art, cooking, backpacking, yoga, and traveling with my husband, teenage daughter, and our dog. My favorite thing about teaching at Madrona is the wonderful diverse community of staff, families, and students!
(She/Her/Hers) I’m proud to teach 3rd grade at Madrona! I have a B.A. in Art Education and an M.Ed. in Elementary Education. I teach here because I love the brilliance and creativity of our amazing students. I’m passionate about making learning a joyful and meaningful experience for all.
(She/Her/Hers) This is my fifth year teaching developmental preschool at Madrona. I love teaching alongside my team to support our youngest learners to be successful in and out of the classroom. I enjoy working at Madrona, especially collaborating with the entire community.
(She/Her/Hers) This is my third year teaching 1st grade at Madrona. I previously taught kindergarten for four years at Madrona. I love teaching at Madrona because of the amazing, courageous, and unique students, families, and staff that make up our community.
