I am very excited about teaching middle school math again at this wonderful Lincoln Academy. I love how supportive and kind the community at Lincoln. 

I was born and grew up in Japan. I moved to the United States to go to college.  I graduated from Western Wyoming Community College with AA and AS in 1999, and from University of Utah with BS in Secondary Math Education Major and Psychology minor in 2002.  I taught in Wymoning for 4 years till I had my son.  Since my son started Lincoln Academy as a first grader, I have been volunteering in classrooms and I fell in love with Lincoln Academy.  I have also been teaching Japanese language as a heritage language for the last 10 years on Saturdays.

I love doing puzzles, sewing, crocheting, knitting, baking, and gardening (but I do not like bugs). I enjoy spending time with my family and pet, such as camping and visiting new places.  One of these days I would love to go to Australia to hug a koala!

I cannot wait to have a lot of math talks with students this year!
