I have worked at Highline College since 2019. I enjoy teaching here because of the diversity of the students and the quality and kindness of other faculty and staff. I believe that education can lead to personal transformation, strong communities, and a more just and equitable Criminal Justice system.

At Highline, I am the coordinator of the Criminal Justice Department. In my role as coordinator, I manage the department, advise students, support faculty and teach.

Before I started working at Highline, I lived in Denmark for two years on a Fulbright scholarship to study Danish open prisons. While I was there I received a Master's in Education and conducted fieldwork in the women's unit of a mixed-gender open prison. Prior to that, I worked for a nonprofit that offers a college in prison program at the Washington Corrections Center for Women.

I enjoy cycling, hiking, and playing outside with my young son.
