Educational Experience:  

This year is my 33rd year of teaching.  I have been fortunate to have a wide variety of experiences, including teaching almost every grade level, in the science lab, and now as an Innovation Technologist.  I base my teaching on the latest brain-based research, and am passionate about incorporating coding, robotics, engineering and design thinking into our Design Den studies.  I received my teaching credential from UCSD and continue to take classes in a wide variety of subject matter to keep current in my profession.

Educational Philosophy


Teaching Philosophy:  William Butler Yeats said, ‘Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.’ This quote is the foundation for my teaching philosophy. It is my daily goal to create a student-centered environment where experiences are real-life, engaging, hands-on and meaningful.  Within this learning environment we are all teachers and learners, and we work as collaboratively to support and care for each other. 

WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE DESIGN DEN THIS YEAR

As Innovation Technologist I will provide a variety of learning experiences for the students.  Using the design thinking process and multiple technologies and resources, I will develop inquiry-based learning experiences for students that promote critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication.  

Life Outside of the Hawk's Nest


I am very active and love to run, swim, bike, hike, dance and play pickleball.  I also love to learn, and I read, listen to podcasts, and research about all kinds of topics.  Music is one of my favorite things, and I listen to a wide variety of tunes and play the piano and ukulele.   One of my favorite parts of teaching is learning from the students, each and every day!
