Hello Friends!

I have been teaching in the Murrieta School District for 23 years, mostly in first and second grade.  I believe ALL children can learn. However, learning requires being present and actively involved each and everyday while never giving up! I value positive character just as much as academic knowledge.  I consider myself quirky, goofy, and a bit clumsy.  I love to read when I get the chance. I also enjoy hiking, boating, and camping in the desert .  I have been married for 20 years. Together we have three wonderful granddaughters and two very spoiled dogs.
