I received my Bachelor of Science Degree and teaching credential in Physical 
Education from San Jose State University. 
 
In the early 1990's I went back to school and earned my Masters Degree in 
Sports and Fitness Management from the University of San Francisco.

This my 28th year of teaching Physical Education.  I taught at Notre Dame 
High School in Belmont for 16 years.  During this time, I was the Head of the 
Physical Education Department, the Athletic Director, and coach of the tennis 
team.  

After leaving Notre Dame High School I worked at Westgate Rehab and Specialty 
Care Center in San Jose as a Recreational Therapist.   For four and a half
years  I was responsible for planning recreational programming for the
residents in the facility. 

For three years I taught at Bowditch Middle School in San Mateo.  I found 
myself getting tired of the long commute and I interviewed with the Cupertino 
School District.  I was hired to teach at Kennedy Middle School.  I enjoyed 
my six years at Kennedy before accepting my current position at Lawson Middle 
School.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy the following: playing tennis, attending 
theater, watching movies, working in my garden, and spending time with 
friends and family.
