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, currently attending Palos Verdes Peninsula High School. They are both active members of the ASB. My oldest son is on the Coed Choreo team and my youngest son is on the football team. 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 are some photos of my sons and me.
