This is my fifth year teaching at Rosemont.  I am originally from Montana, but have been an Oregonian for almost 30 years.  I am married and have 2 children.  I met my husband, Curtiss,  while both of us were undergraduate chemistry students at Montana State University.  Curtiss went on to get his doctorate in chemistry at the University of Washington and currently works for Polaris Battery Labs in Beaverton.  My son, Thomas, will be heading off to college at the University of Oregon this year.  He plans to study computer science and mathematics.  My daughter, Emelia (or Emma for short), is a junior at Jesuit HS in Beaverton.  We also have a dog, Bunny and two cats, Evie and Windy.

In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, reading and especially quilting.  I do enjoy traveling, but have not had much of an opportunity in the last few years. I look forward to spending time getting to know my students and their parents.  I love science and really enjoy sharing it with students.
