Throughout my career, I have mostly taught Kindergarten. However, I also taught Fourth Grade for three years and Third Grade for one year. Before teaching for Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District, I taught for Manhattan Beach Unified School District. My other teaching profession is in the dance world. I have been a dance instructor in jazz, ballet, and hip hop for many years.
A Bit More about Me:
I am a parent of two sons, one attending Montemalaga and one attending Ridgecrest. The three of us like to spend our summers surfing, swimming, and golfing. I am a native Californian, born in Los Angeles, raised mostly in Huntington Beach. I also enjoy doing yoga, writing, reading, cooking, and baking. Here is a photo of my sons and me on a beach in Costa Rica!
