I have loved school since attending John Marshall Elementary in Tulsa, Oklahoma. My teachers taught me to love learning whether it is in the classroom, on the dance floor, on the Pickle Ball court or in the bike saddle, I enjoy new adventures and challenges.

Before becoming a fully credentialed Multiple Subject and General Science teacher I was writing curriculum and training staff at The Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel, the Santa Ana Zoo, the Orange County Great Park and The Presidential libraries. While curriculum is important, I believe that modeling and teaching the love of learning and the love of community is the most important thing that we can pass onto our students.

I have been fortunate enough to teach almost every grade between Kindergarten and middle school. While there are aspects of being a classroom teacher that I miss, I am really enjoying my role as Induction Coach. Our new teachers are the future of teaching and have such an important role in education.
