1I love teaching Art and Photography here at Thompson Middle School

I am very excited to bringing Creativity our Timberwolves!

About Me:

I'm a Wisconsin and Colorado girl, enjoying the California sunshine.

I have been teaching in the Murrieta Valley School District since 2007 starting with TMS 6th, 7th and 8th graders in Art and Photography classes from 2007-2008 and again from 2014-2020 and Murrieta Valley High School 9th-12th graders in Photography from 2009-2014. I have been privileged to see our Murrieta Valley students grow over the years.

Life before Murrieta...

I was College Professor for 12 years

Moved from Colorado to Southern California

Taught Art at the Elementary, Middle and High school levels

Almost became an Archeologist instead of a teacher from a passion of culture, history and human life. Could have chosen science or history subject to teach, but I love the idea of integrating all the core subjects into a creative way of learning through the Arts.

I have been a Freelance Graphic Designer since 1995 and exhibit my own person Artwork in Colorado & Southern California since I was in High School. 2018 I had Art Work displayed @ The Delmar Fair. 

I am currently creating a Children Book about my Fostered Cat I took in this April. I'll keep you all posted on my progress and when it is finalized.

I love to travel!!! I travel to new places every summer. Many of my trips I have taken my students with me. 

I have been to: Ireland, England, Scotland, Spain, France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Switzerland, Greece, Canada, Mexico, and 45 out of 50 USA States.

My students call me Ms. Faboulos
