After graduating from PHS in 1985 I went back east and finished my undergraduate degree from the University of Puget Sound. With a BA in Business/Marketing I went to work as an account executive for a radio station in the Seattle market. Part of my responsibilities at ‘Non-Stop Country Hits…K-106’ included sales, promotions, copy writing and on-air production. Five years into my radio career, the station was sold and I found myself at a cross-roads. It was at that time that I decided to return to college and work towards a teaching certificate. I received my Master’s in Education from City University in Tacoma. I was finishing my student teaching at Key Peninsula Middle School in Mr. Taraboacha’s math class when an opening at Peninsula High School became available. PHS was looking for a math certified teacher with experience in radio broadcasting. That opening fit me perfectly. I started in 1997 and have enjoyed every day!
