Welcome to English 8!  I am glad that you are checking out my web page here at Highland Jr.  Whether you are a current student, a prospective student, or an interested parent, there is something for everyone.

Originally from Colombo, Sri Lanka, I grew up mostly in Butte, MT.  I attended college at Concordia University in St. Paul and began teaching in 1993.  I have been at Highland for the last 14 years. I am very interested in interdisciplinary teaching and have been on a team with teachers from other subject areas for the past 11 years.  Each year the team may look different, but there is always an exciting new way to integrate our curriculum.  Here at Highland I teach 8th grade English and am one of the WEB

coordinators.

When I am not teaching, I like to read, knit, watch CSI (all of them), and play music.  I also coach my daughters' & son's 6th-8th grade soccer & basketball teams and enjoy attending different events for my five children.  We are a busy family!
