About Me

This is my second year teaching first grade at Brookvale Elementary School.  Prior to teaching first grade, I had taught Kindergarten at Brookvale for 7 years.  Before teaching Kindergarten, I also taught second grade as well as third grade.  Teaching is my second career as I was working in the banking industry for over 20 years - yikes!  

I am a product of the Fremont school system.  I attended Oliveira Elementary School, Thornton Junior High School, and American High School.  I received by BA degree from California State University, East Bay.  I then returned to college after working in banking for over 20 years to pursue a career in teaching.  I received by Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from San Jose State University.  

Deciding to change careers to become a teacher has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.  Each day brings new experiences and more opportunities for learning.  I am thankful for each day that I get to teach the wonderful students at Brookvale! :-)
