Welcome!

I am a third generation California native and a proud alumni of UC Irvine. My degree is in Environmental Analysis and Design. I played both beach and indoor volleyball most of my life, including at the Division I NCAA level. I enjoy going to the mountains and the beach. My husband is a Firefighter/Engineer for the City of San Diego. Together we have two kids. Our son will be attending Murrieta Mesa High School as a freshman and our daughter is heading into her junior year at Cal State San Marcos. I have been a teacher for 21 years. This is my 18th year with the Murrieta Valley Unified School District; 17 at TMS and 1 at MMHS. I am currently the lead of the science department at TMS. This past spring I was humbly selected as Teacher of the Year at Thompson Middle School.
