I wanted to share some things about myself you may not know. I am a third generation native San Diegan. We are so blessed to be living here with the sun, the beach and the mountains close by. Way back in the day I graduated from Point Loma High School. During my college years I worked part-time as an AVID tutor, a secretary for a non-profit retirement home and a ticket seller at events like Comic Con at the Convention Center. After graduating from San Diego State with a degree in American Literature, I taught at Marston for 10 years. During this time, I earned my Masters degree in Educational Technology. My passion for AVID and English has driven my teaching throughout my career and the Academy of Business is a natural fit. This will be my 9th year teaching at Clairemont, which is my home away from home.
