I'm so happy to be here at Goleta Valley Junior High School.Before coming to
this district 4 years ago, I taught math and science at Dana Middle
School in the Wiseburn School District down in the Los Angeles area for 10
years. Previous to that I taught 4th grade for 3 years and High School
Business Math for 1 year. Junior High and Middle School are definitely my
favorite grades to teach. I remember knowing in 6th grade that I was going to
be a math teacher when I grew up. Who says you can't really decide what you
want to do at that age? Just remember to put your mind to it and anything is
possible. I went to college at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego,
California, where I studied math, education, and business. This is also where
I met my closest friends, including my husband, and had the best years of my
life. My hope is that all of my student's will get a chance to experience
what college is like for themselves. Applying yourselves now is key to a
successful education and pathway to college.
Some of my favorite hobbies and activities include: swimming, playing piano,
skydiving, scuba diving, and most importantly, playing with my beautiful twin
boys, Ryan and Tyler, who are 3.
