"I am new to NOVA, but I can see already the passion for learning that students have. I am inspired by their curiosity and eagerness to learn.  I am excited by the opportunities to make connections across core programs and enrichments."

Fun Fact #1 — My favorite hobbies are art (of course!), baking, swimming, and walking in the woods.

Fun Fact #2 — I am a Navy Brat! I moved often as a child. I went to 12 schools between K-12.

Fun Fact #3 — My last name means ART in German.

I choose to work at NOVA because I want to be a part of a community with a purpose.

Land Acknowledgement

NOVA is located on the ancestral lands of the Steh-Chass band of the Squaxin Island Tribe and Nisqually Indian Tribe, who have long been stewards of the region’s waters, plants, and animals. The southernmost point of the Salish Sea, these lands were—and still are—a place of gathering, trade, and community for many Coast Salish peoples. We recognize that all who are not Salish peoples are visitors here. We commit to join these peoples to share their history, build relationships, increase representation, and restore the living world around us.
