Students call me Ms. Swarthout and I started teaching MYP Humanities and Design at Soundview in 2022. I have a BA in International Studies, an M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction, and a teaching certificate all from the University of Washington. In addition to teaching, I have also worked in international education nonprofits, leading exchange programs in Southeast Asia and Seattle. I love Soundview assemblies! They are a great showcase of our focus on developing student leadership and our supportive family community. Outside of school, I love cooking, learning to play the fiddle, and all things outdoors.
