Mrs. Dexter

About Me

My husband, two sons, and I enjoy living in the Spokane Valley with our two pugs Aries and Vesta. I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology from WSU and my Masters degree in Guidance and Counseling from Whitworth College. While working on my M. Ed. I completed a two year internship at South Pines Elementary. After graduating I relocated my family to the Washington coast and worked for a year in the Aberdeen School District. The following summer the South Pines counselor position became open, and my family missed being in Spokane Valley. So here I am living in the town I love, working in the school I love, with the students I love!
