Welcome to Kindergarten! I am delighted to be your child's teacher! This is my twenty-first year of teaching. It feels like it was just yesterday that I started teaching! I taught fourth grade for three years, seventeen years in second grade, and this is my first year teaching Kindergarten. I am so excited! My job has given me so much joy and fulfillment. I thank my lucky stars to teach at such a wonderful school and in such a great community.
I was born and raised here in Los Angeles. In fact, I was born in Torrance and grew up in Rancho Palos Verdes. I was in the first graduating class at Peninsula High - class of 1992. I received my bachelor's degree from St. Louis University where I studied theatre and I got my master's degree in education at Pepperdine University. I live in Redondo Beach and enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to the beach, reading, and traveling. I am married and have a little boy named Blake who is starting Kindergarten this year as well!
I am really looking forward to a wonderful school year!
