Technology Endorsement

This is my twenty-fifth year teaching technology including yearbook and photography. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree with majors in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Oregon and a Master’s degree in Education from Pacific University. I further pursued my interest in technology education at Southern Utah University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where I earned a Technology endorsement for grades K–8. My teaching focuses on developing digital literacy, problem-solving skills, and responsible technology use among students. Outside of teaching, I enjoy photography, video editing, hiking, biking, skiing, home repair projects, and spending time with my husband and son. I am also a long-time fan of the University of Oregon Ducks. Go Ducks!
