Welcome to fourth grade! I am excited to be your teacher and looking forward to a wonderful year.  Here's a little bit about me. I grew up in Orange County and have lived in California my entire life. I attended Cal State Fullerton where I got my Bachelor's degree in Child Development and completed my teaching credential. Year's later I got my Masters through Walden University. I have been teaching for 25 years and  I am lucky enough to have taught 4th grade for the past 20 years at Paloma!  I have also taught first grade, second grade, and fifth grade. I enjoy being a part of the Paloma Family. Some of my other roles on campus include Yearbook coordinator and Student Council.

I live in Temecula with my husband Eric, a fire captain for Hemet.  We have been married for 21 years and have two beautiful kids. Both of our children went to Paloma and are students of TVUSD. Our daughter is a senior this year at Temecula Valley High School and loves to play golf and is part of ASB on her campus. Our son attends Temecual Middle School. He loves to play baseball and is a part of a travel ball team.

When I am not teaching I enjoy taking pictures, doing crafts of all kinds, and spending time by the pool with my family.  We spend a great deal of time attending golf matches and baseball games. We also enjoy taking vacations and going camping.
