About Me

I have been teaching Engineering since 2002.  I have a deep love for everything related to engineering, math, science, and technology.  I am also the coach of the RoboLancers, Luther Burbank's robotics team.  And, I served as the PBSLearningMedia Engineering Ambassador in 2017.  I have also been a presenter at several STEM/STEAM conferences.

Outside of school, I am the mother of two daughters.  I am an avid nature photographer.  I spend much of my free time photographing woodland creatures.   I love walking in the woods, and am a board member of the historical society in my town. I also love David Bowie, opera and grunge rock.  I am a huge fan of the original Star Trek series and superheroes (in particular: Wonder Woman, Batman, and most of the Marvel Superheroes like Jessica Jones, Black Panther, and Captain America).  My husband and I enjoy art museums, antiquing, and hiking.  Besides photography, my other hobbies include hand-coloring photos, fashion, journal making, reading, collecting depression glass, and anything steampunk!
