Biography: Noelle was born and raised in Seattle, WA, and she loves this part of the world! Teaching, especially with a focus on history and civics, is her jam and joy. In 2020, she graduated from the University of Washington with a focus in Communication and History. She received her Master's in Education from Pacific Lutheran University in 2021. She has her Washington State Resident Certification in Secondary Social Studies, History, English, and Middle Level Humanities (whew!). She feels very fortunate to have a variety of teaching and learning experiences at diverse independent schools in the community, including the Overlake School, Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart, and most recently, the Hatch School. She is so excited to join the SAAS community in 2024 and is especially excited about providing an individualized educational experience through the Options Program. The energy at SAAS is absolutely fantastic, and she cannot wait to learn, grow, and be a part of this wonderful community!
