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! :-)
