Life Outside of the Eagle's Nest
When I’m not teaching, I enjoy running, reading, watching movies, and spending time with my friends and family. My husband is a captain for the San Diego Fire Department, and my 17 year old stepdaughter is a senior in high school. We can often be found playing board games, spending time at the beach, camping, or playing with our dogs!
