K-12 Education I grew up and went to school in Novato, California. I attended Rancho Elementary, West Novato Elementary, Sinaloa Junior High School and San Marin High School ~ Go Mustangs! Undergraduate Education I earned a BA in Social Sciences from University of California at Berkeley ~ Go Bears! Post Graduate Education I received my teaching credential from Sonoma State University and my MA in Educational Technology from Touro University. Teaching Career This is my 19th year as a teacher in the Novato Unified School District. I started my career at Olive Elementary teaching kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade for 9 fabulous years. I decided to teach at PV to be closer to where my own kids were going to school. I have happily been teaching 2nd grade at Pleasant Valley Elementary for the last 9 years and look forward to many more!

Our Family Dog - Cosmo
Good Doggy!
This is our dog Cosmo, the newest member of our family. We adopted him from the Humane Society. He was a stray found wandering the streets and in need of a good home. He loves to snuggle, play catch, and play tug of war with us.
