Getting to know Sarah

I was born in Sacramento, California and moved to Washington when I was in kindergarten so Washington is where I consider my home. I am the oldest of 4 children, my sister is 2 years younger than I am, the older one my brothers is 6 years younger than me and my baby brother is 10 years younger. When I graduated from north Lakewood High school I headed over to Cheney, WA to attend Eastern Washington University where I graduated with my BS in Applied Developmental Psychology. I lived there for 8 years and gained many friends who I consider family. I moved back to western Washington at the end of the summer of 2016 so I could begin my journey to teaching here at SPU.

Interest and Experience in Education

I have always known that I wanted to work with children, from babysitting to daycare teacher, being in an environment with children was where I would be happiest in life. Last year I directed my focus as to the school district and got a job as a Para educator for the special education department in Spokane School district. After spending some time in the classroom I knew this was where I wanted to be and so I focused all my energy to becoming a teacher.
