I am very happy to be on the staff here at Spring View; it really feels like
it is home. I teach all American History all day long, so that can be fun
with all the stories involved. I also have a class on Career Awareness.
My favorite thing to do is to go camping on the beach or fishing on a
lake. I play ice hockey in my spare time at least once a week. I like
to go mountain biking or hiking whenever I can, too. You get to see many
out of the ordinary animals and plants when you are out in the middle of
nowhere. I have seen crazy things like bobcats, deer, vultures, and snakes
(oh, my!). You have to watch out for poison oak (not fun).
I got my BA and teaching credential from Cal State Fullerton, and I also
continued my education by earning a master's degree in Educational
Technology.
I am a product of the Ocean View School District. I started out at
Westmont then moved to Circle View for the GATE program. I followed on to
Mesa View for middle school, and afterwards to Marina for Freshman/Sophomore
years. I graduated from Huntington High to go onto Orange Coast College.
I really think education is important, and that everyone should stay in
school for as long as possible, especially the generation I am teaching now.
The employment market is getting so demanding that degrees are more crucial.
Hopefully, I can make school more fun and give my students skills that can
make the rest of your school career as smooth and easy as possible.
The standards for 8th grade social studies can be found online at cde.gov.
