Greetings current and future GLES Dragons!

I officially joined the GLES staff as a teacher-librarian 2019, but I have been around the school for many years as a GLES parent and as a substitute teacher. Prior to my work at GLES, I was a teacher in Torrance, California and Harlem, New York. I have also taught in Shangahi, China and Tugela Ferry, South Africa. I have a Master's degree in International Education and have taught ELL as part of University of Washington's extension program.

Fun Fact: Most people around GLES call me Ms. Pickle. The name was started by students who really wanted me to finish reading a chapter book to them called Pickle. Prior to being called Ms. Pickle, I answered to Arielle's mom, Aliya's mom, Bodie and Kaila's mom, Andrea and Ms. Bernasconi (and its multitude of mispronunciations). It was complicated and, somehow, Ms. Pickle just works

Green Lake elementary is a fabulous place to be.  I love getting to help make the building run more smoothly so staff can get down to the awesome work of helping our students grow and learn.
