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 grew up in St. Louis and later attended a small liberal arts school, Drury University. After graduating with a B.A. in Theatre, I moved to Seattle and discovered this wonderful community. Interlake has been my home away from home for nearly seven years, and for that I am deeply appreciative. I also midnight as a stage manager with various theatres in the Seattle area. When not at school, I’m often at rehearsal, searching for the next show, or taking a cat nap with my kitties, Draco and Kåre.

Operations 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!).

Great tour, especially since it was a virtual format. Brandon provided all the information we were looking for and gave very clear answers for all the group questions. Thank you!

Great job going with the flow given the power outage! I still learned a lot. Thank you for your time! We would love to enroll our infant (due May 12), but totally understand the competitive waitlist. I work at Woodland Park Zoo, so this is our dream location. We are so impressed with your focus on inclusion, nutrition, and sustainability. We remain VERY interested should an infant spot open up. Thank you again, for all you do for young learners in Seattle and their families!
