"Watching 6th graders grow into lifelong learners and amazing humans over 3 years inspires me every day. With students this passionate—and coworkers who match their energy—who wouldn't want to be at NOVA?"

Fun Fact #1 — I like to hike, garden, design kitchens, and build cabinets.

Fun Fact #2 — Before working at NOVA, I worked in the Olympia High School Woodshop.

Fun Fact #3 — I am a mother of two grown sons and a grandmother of four granddaughters. I love being a grandparent. Who knew??

I choose to work at NOVA because I love coming to work each day and interacting with middle schoolers and my coworkers.
