"Watching a sixth grader entering middle school for the first time and seeing their growth and development over three years into amazing life long learners and lovely human beings reminds and inspires me to embrace knowledge, new experiences, and seek out my best self. Since my coworkers exemplify the same passion as the students who wouldn't be inspired to hang out at NOVA?"

Fun Fact #1 — I like to 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 three 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.
