Early education lays the foundation for an individual’s life and I am devoted to providing high-quality learning experiences for all our children. I hold a Master’s in Education from University of Washington as well as a Master’s degree in Economics from Pune University, India. With over 10 years of professional experience as a teacher, I have taught in diverse educational systems and hope to best practices from each to Interlake.



Executive Director

I am very excited to have the opportunity to be a part of the Interlake community! Working with young people is my passion and I am looking forward to supporting this program and helping to provide an environment of learning and fun where everyone belongs. I earned my teaching certificate from Western Washington University, and my Master’s in Urban Environmental Education from Antioch University, Seattle. I have over seven years of experience as an educator in different capacities.

Assistant Executive Director

I attended Ohio University and received a B.A. in Linguistics and Classical Greek, with a certificate to teach English (TESOL). I taught adults English in college and have worked at summer and year round camps for over 7 years, where I learned that emergent curriculum is a wonderful way to learn and teach. Interlake has become my home over the past few years. The support of the staff, families, and children when I am having any big feelings has been out of this world since my first days here.

Office Manager & Enrollment Coordinator

I have several college classes in Early Childhood Education and Nutrition science from North Seattle College and completed an AAS in Accounting in 2013 from Kaplan University; I spent 6 years working in all classrooms as teaching staff while attending night classes. My interest in cooking and baking began with a child’s cookbook and peanut butter cookies. My mother remembers losing her shelled peanuts because I unshelled them and put them in the blender to make peanut butter (without asking!).

The internet connection wasn't good at the beginning. It did get better. It is hard to get a real sense of the school from a virtual tour, but we know you're doing the best you can! Thanks for taking the time to give us a tour.

D. H.

T. L.

You did a great job considering you had to do the tour virtually
