I have been teaching at Highline College since 1998. I found my passion for teaching and my home at Highline College after having had a successful career in the medical software industry as an office manager, installation trainer, and a support representative for medical accounts receivable and electronic claims software. I earned my Bachelors of Arts degree in Child & Family Studies from Washington State University and my Masters of Arts in Education with an Adult Online Education emphasis from the University of Phoenix.

My favorite part of teaching is seeing students grow and learn as their hard work pays off and they earn their degree or certificate. I love to see student’s enthusiasm when they have that “aha” moment while understanding concepts that had been challenging.

In my spare time, I enjoy laughing with family and friends, reading, learning new things, painting, camping, playing games, enjoying our mountains and water, and spending time with my sweet Bichon Frise dog Luci.
