I am originally from Newport Beach, California.  After graduating from high school I attended Arizona State University.  I then transferred to California State University, Fullerton, where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Child Development and Psychology.  After graduation I attended Graduate School at National University, California.  I received my professional-clear California teaching license in 1990 and have been teaching ever since!  Recently, I completed my Master's in Teaching with a Specialization in Reading Instruction endorsement from National University, California, on-line program.  

I previously taught in California, before moving to Colorado with my three children, in December of 2006. All three of my children attended PVHS. My son, Brandon and Daughter, Brianna both graduated from CU Boulder in December of 2016. Go Buffs! My youngest son, Blake, is attending Front Range CC, working on an Associate's Degree. I have been a teacher for the Brighton 27J School District since 2007 and teaching English at Prairie View High School for the past eight years.  I truly enjoy working with high school students to help them reach many milestones in their high school careers.  I am looking forward to a wonderful 2017-2018 school year.
