About Me

I've been teaching English at South Pasadena Middle School since 2004, and as the saying goes: time flies when you're having fun! Teaching is a true joy, and I love getting to work with the delightful students here at SPMS. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy art, poetry, yoga, gardening, journaling and nature.

Below you'll find an overview of my professional experience and qualifications.
