Biography

I am an alumna of Holy Family Kirkland (K-8) and consider Catholic education to be the rock upon which my vocation was built.  After graduating from Capital High School in Olympia, I attended Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.  My husband, Matthew, is on Active Duty in the Army, and after we married in 2011, I devoted my time to supporting soldiers and families.  After many moves, we landed in Iowa, and I taught PreK + K at Oskaloosa Christian School.  In 2019, the Army answered my prayers and brought us home to Olympia! Being part of the SMPS family is a blessing to me; I am passionate about providing a Catholic education to all of God's children and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
