4th year at Piute teaching 7th and 8th grade science.

I was never so motivated to hop out of bed in the morning until I became a science teacher in 2004 through California State University Long Beach near my home. I’ve been a camp, hemodialysis and Emergency Room Nurse, Laboratory Technician, researched diseases and treatments, developed rockets and medical technology at Cal Tech Pasadena, studied GIS and dug water wells on a scholarship at KU...and was hit by lightening enroute on a 5 week geology trip. I ignored my school Counselor’s advice not to take ‘the boys classes’ including the maths and sciences and have studied, worked and pursued hobbies in the sciences enabling me to provide real-life hands-on experiences for our students. I embrace our vision to create options and excellence in education, empowering all students to reach their full potential. Education is mandatory to allow our students choices at being successful in life and in our rapidly changing environment--don’t ever give up on any child reaching their full potential.

I am moving to Lancaster with my team of horses and working to establish Southern California’s only Therapeutic Driving Program. It’s about our abilities, not what we can’t do. I look forward to so many things that this area offers such as studying your dark skies with my telescopes, paddling local lakes...but I won’t miss the southland traffic! LSD feels like home.
