2nd/3rd Grade Teacher
Hi, my name is Miss Jamie! I joined the Emerson team in 2024 after moving to Portland from Seattle, where I taught K-2. I started my journey in education in Northern California, where I earned my teaching credential from San Francisco State University in 2013. I began teaching kindergarten in the Bay Area, then 3rd grade in the Sacramento area. I love the growth and wonder that happens in lower elementary grades, and I am very excited to be a part of project-based learning here at Emerson. Outside of school, I live with my dog, Ray, who loves to play fetch and snuggle. I spend my time cooking, enjoying good food, reading, playing board, card, and dice games, knitting, and hiking.
