About Debra

I have taught for 30 years within Lane County and abroad, and just retired in June of 2020 out of the public school system. I believe education starts with relationship, and education can, and should be fun! I have taught all subjects k-6th. My passion is teaching art, literature, and writing, although I am comfortable teaching all areas of the curriculum. I was nominated for "Teacher of the Year" twice, and believe that teaching requires continual growth for both teacher and student. I am jumping back into teaching, as these are unprecedented times, and I would love to help families that are feeling the stress of online learning, or simply keeping up with current demands.
