Hard to believe, I have been teaching for over 30 years in the upper grades; 7 years in Rowland Heights and 18 years at Morse Elementary, and now 6 years at Brookhaven. Always "the science teacher" for the entire grade level, I have taken on the job as "Science Fellow" for the district to help fifth grade teachers navigate NGSS and our new TWIG science program. I am a PYLUSD alum as I attended Golden, Tuffree, and El Dorado High School. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a degree in Liberal Studies which demonstrated how math, sciences, art, and literature are interconnected. With this background, I strive to have curriculum overlap to make learning more relevant and more deeply understood. My husband and I met in college and have two young adult children whom recently graduated from Cal State Fullerton. GO TITANS! I enjoy walking on the beach any time of year and getting my hands dirty working in the yard. I believe elementary school should be a low stress, fun environment. Let kids have fun being kids. Childhood is a special time and I so enjoy being part of this moment in their lives.
