This is my 18th year in the Temecula Unified School District and my 11th year at Chaparral. As many of you know, I have dreamed of combining my passion for psychology with teaching and last year I was finally able to fulfill my dream. Psychology is a subject I have been surrounded with most of my life.  My mom is a clinical psychologist and there are 4 psychology degrees in my family. I have a B.S. degree in Psychology and a Masters in Education.  I attended 5 different colleges throughout my journey of acquiring knowledge:  San Diego State University, University of California, San Diego, University of San Diego, Azusa Pacific University, and University of California, Los Angeles.  I am definitely a lifelong student and enjoy not only learning, but also teaching what I learn to others.
