Hello Friends!

I have been teaching in the Murrieta School District for 22 years with the bulk of my time spent 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 boating on the lake in the summer and riding at the desert in the winter.  I have been married for 17 years. Together We have two spoiled dogs and three spoiled granddaughters.
