Work History
Teacher/School Director
Salmonberry Hill Academy
Astoria, OR
09.2016 - 06.2024
Salmonberry Hill Academy was a unique education experience created by myself and a handful of parents. I developed Salmonberry after working for SLOCA, San Luis Obispo Academy. Students get the best of both worlds by going to school 3-4 days and homeschools 2-3 days a week. Students all had their own custom-designed educational plans. It was a wonderful place to work and go to school!
