Hello!  I've been a public school elementary teacher for over 25 years and I love teaching at Lietz Elementary school. Kindergarten is such a magical year and I feel so fortunate to be able to be a part of your child's social, emotional and educational growth during the formative years.

I attended Biola University for my undergraduate degree, San Francisco State for my Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential, and San Jose State for my Masters in Education and Reading Specialist Credential. I love teaching children to read.

 My husband, Dale and I have one daughter, Anna and her husband, Jacob joined our family in 2022.  We enjoy going to 49er games and I enjoy hiking, reading and traveling.  I have traveled to many parts of the world including Russia, the Philippines, Japan, Mexico, Yucatan peninsula, Latvia, Sweden, London and Rwanda.  I've lived in Southern CA, New York, Oahu, and Maui, but my favorite place is the Bay Area...close to our families!
