Welcome!
This is my fourth year teaching at TVHS and I'm looking forward to working with my students this year. I hold a bachelor's degree in physics from UCSD and I also attended graduate school for astronomy for a brief stint after undergrad, but left when my first child was born to focus on family for a while. A long time ago I also worked as a chemist first doing organic chemistry, and then moved into analytical chemistry. I've taught physics labs at UCSD, astronomy at Boston University, and general science to 2nd - 5th graders, however my favorite age group to work with by far is high school students.
In addition to my love of science and teaching, I have been happily married for 21 years and have 5 awesome kids. My oldest graduated from TVHS in 2019, my second oldest is currently a student here at TVHS. I also have an 8th grader, a 4th grader, and a 2nd grader, all in TVUSD schools.
One of the only things I love more than science is teaching. I look forward to getting to know all of my students and hope you have an amazing year!
