About Me:

I was born and raised in Placerville, CA. I am a third generation teacher - my family has been working in the El Dorado County education realm for a handful of years. I am very excited to be working in the area I grew up in.

I received my B.A. in English with an emphasis in Secondary Education from Grand Canyon University in Arizona. Throughout my education career, I have been lucky to have experience teaching inside of the classrooms and outside of the classroom in the Coastal Redwood Forest as an outdoor educator and challenge course guide.

I have called three states home - California, Massachusetts, and Arizona. I jokingly say California has the best landscape, Arizona has the best sunsets, and New England has the best history! I love to travel and enjoy what nature and people have to offer. I am a huge animal person and have three wonderful kitties and a wonderful partner to come home to!

When you can't find me in the classroom - I am usually quilting, taking photos, painting, riding horses, or hunting down the best book sale. I am a huge fan of Dungeons and Dragons, Disney, history, and wildflowers!
