I am passionate about loving learning, and believe that everyone learns best when they are active participants in learning! I’m now in my 15th year of teaching, and my 4th year at Orca. I try to use games, technology and real-world learning to make learning meaningful and engaging. I’m also working on growing in teaching writing in meaningful ways this year, and I hope to inspire students to publish their ideas and writing to the world. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy running, biking and playing Ultimate Frisbee, as well as playing board games with my family and friends!

I am the School Nurse of Orca K-8 School. Parents and staff call me Scott and students call me nurse Scott. I am here to support the physical, mental, and nutritional health of students in a safe environment so they can be at their best to have fun and learn.
