I have been working in education since 2009 and have been working at Roxhill since 2013. I truly love being a teacher. Building a classroom community where students care for one another and celebrate each other’s strengths is one of my greatest joys. I studied at San Diego State University and continued my education at Seattle Pacific University. Getting to know each student as an individual and helping them grow into confident, independent, and caring learners is what inspires me every day. I am a mother to 3 busy children. As a family we love skiing, watching movies, camping, trips to the beach, and visiting with family in California and Maine. - Ms. Beal

I have been working in education since 2015 and have been working at Roxhill since 2021. I believe every student has so much creativity and artistic ability inside and I love being able to bring that out of them! Seeing students grow artistically, socially, emotionally, and academically from year to year is one of my greatest joys as a teacher. In my free time I love hanging out with my pug Lucy, doing ceramics, going to concerts, and traveling! - Ms. Binkow
I have been working in education since 2011 and have been working at Roxhill Elementary since 2025. I am honored to be leading and learning at Roxhill. My life’s work is to help create joyful, positive school environments where students and staff feel a strong sense of belonging and look forward to learning each day. I believe deeply in the power of schools to advance equity and strengthen community. I love travelling, reading, playing ultimate frisbee, and enjoying nature with friends, family and my two wiener dogs. Yo hablo español. - Principal Bruno
