IEP Teacher
saahlers@seattleschools.orgI am so excited to begin my teaching career at Lincoln High School this year as a part of the IEP department! I have recently graduated with a Master of Special Education at the University of Washington- Go Dawgs. I have spent the past 3 years working in SPS, first as an Americorps volunteer with City Year, and then as an IA at both Denny Middle School and Garfield High School. After growing up in a small town in Nebraska, I moved to Seattle in 2012 and love the pacific northwest! I am deeply looking forward to connecting and growing both personally and professionally with the Lincoln community!
World Literature and French Teacher
hmali@seattleschools.orgHello everyone! This will be my first year at Lincoln and I am thrilled to be teaching French and English. I have a B.A. in French and Psychology, and a M.A. in Teaching from the University of Washington. I am born and raised in Seattle. After my B.A., I lived in France on and off for about four years before deciding to come back home and fulfill a life goal of mine: to give back to the community that raised me. I have lived in Nantes, Paris, and Toulouse, with a majority of my time spent in Paris teaching English to high schoolers. My time teaching in SPS has been primarily at Ingraham High School, with a brief stint at Hamilton International Middle School. This will be my first full year at one school, and I am excited to help my students grow into the best versions of themselves as we engage with the content through the cultural lens that accompanies it.
In my spare time I enjoy traveling, cooking, wine tasting, reading, and the occasional camping trip or hike that is of course obligatory as a Seattle native. Oh and how could I could I forget Soccer! I have worked at Arena Sports (Magnuson/SODO) since I was a teenager, so if I look familiar there is a good chance I have helped you at the front desk or coached soccer to your kids!
Spanish Teacher
abarias@seattleschools.orgPersonal Message
Hello! I recently joined the World Language Department at Lincoln and I’m very excited to be here. I’ve been teaching Spanish at the high school and university levels for the past 9 years. In addition to teaching language and culture, I hope I can bring some college readiness into my classroom.
I earned my BA with a double-major in Spanish and Sociology from UW, my first MA in Hispanic Studies from UW, and my second MA in Iberian and Latin American Languages and Cultures from UT Austin. So I’m a Husky at heart but also a Longhorn.
I’m a car enthusiast, I love traveling and experiencing new cultures and food, and I will defend pineapple on pizza any day.

Psychology/Social Science and Health Teacher
kkbabington@seattleschools.orgI am excited to teach AP Psychology and Health at Lincoln! I have always loved learning and teaching. During my undergraduate studies, I pursued a B.A. in Biology and Women’s Studies and a minor in Psychology. I earned a medical degree from the University of Washington and completed a residency in Psychiatry. I enjoyed the opportunity to teach medical students and junior physicians over the years and ran a private psychiatric practice for over a decade. I look forward to continuing to bring my passion for psychology and health and my industry experience to the classroom. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and friends, watching movies, and taking long walks with my dog.
Visual Arts Teacher
labaker@seattleschools.orgI have been teaching visual arts for over 20 years. I teach Drawing and Painting, AP Studio Art and Ceramics at Lincoln. My first three years I taught visual art at a high school in Colorado and I have also worked with middle school students in West Seattle. I have a Bachelor of Arts from Colorado State University, and my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Seattle University. I have worked as a Teacher Leader at the district level to help develop scope, sequence, and assessments for visual arts focused on State Standards and 21st Century Skills.
I believe a strong arts program; with access for all students, I help facilitate students to discover and enhance their creativity to become contributing members of our ever-changing world. I love teaching. I love working with students, teachers, and parents to foster an art program that encourages a love and respect for the arts that reflects the importance of culture and community. As a community member, parent and arts advocate in the Seattle Public School system I am thrilled to grow and foster a strong art program for Lincoln High School for years to come.
I encourage all of my students to participate and have fun in my hands-on learning environment to “Find the artist within!"
PE/Health Teacher
hbbarnes@seattleschools.orgHello! I am thrilled to be here at Lincoln and focusing on Physical Education and Health classes. I have a deep passion for my subject matter and hope to pass that along to my students. I completed my undergrad at the University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!) and graduate degree from the University of Washington (Go Huskies!). My passions include running, traveling, politics, plants, and officiating football.
Science Teacher
acbeckerroge@seattleschools.orgAs a transplant from Florida, I can never get enough of the PNW. I have lived in Seattle for almost three years, and I love hiking, camping, and paddleboarding whenever I can find the chance. I also enjoy live music and live shows. I have always had a passion for teaching but never felt I had the opportunity to pivot careers from hospitality. Over the pandemic, I decided to return to school for my teaching degree. I am halfway through my program and will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education with a focus in Biology. I am thrilled to be at Lincoln High School this year as an IA and look forward to helping students meet their academic goals.
