Hi and welcome to my RSP Page! I have been teaching for the past 10 years, all of which has been spent in the area of Elementary Special Education.  I graduated from California Baptist University where I swam for 4 years during my undergrad and also received both a Mild/Moderate Credential and Multiple Subject Credential.  I taught for the majority of my career in Orange Unified School District, but have chosen to make my home here at BES in Temecula! 

A bit about me: I have a Dog named Tonx (after the Harry Potter Character). I love Hiking/Backpacking and have completed the John Muir Trail a few times.  I am passionate about creating awareness about Green practices in my day to day life as well as here at BES, and have worked to incorporate outdoor classrooms, garden classes, and after school programs that can help our future generations make better decisions that will benefit their own personal quality of life and the world around them! I enjoy being active and hit the gym most days or go for a bike ride on my road bike. I love my family near (Temecula) and far (Oregon) and try to spend as much quality time with them as I can.
