Hello, I am Mrs. Pinkerton and I am looking forward to being part of the Puma family this year!   I am beginning my 7th year as a science teacher for TVUSD and my second year at Chaparral High School.  Every day we are impacted by science and by understanding these interactions, I hope to show what makes it applicable, amazing and fun!  I have a degree in Biochemistry from UCLA (Go Bruins!) and have spent many years working in the biotech industry.   I moved to Temecula over 18 years ago and have enjoyed living, working, and raising my family in this beautiful town.   Please feel free to contact me at tpinkerton@tvusd.us with any questions or just to say hello!
