I'm proud to be an original Bronco - and enthusiastically look forward to being your teacher this year - Every year is a new adventure, and this will be no exception! This will be my 23rd year of teaching - primarily science, which I am passionate about. I love to provide a learning environment that offers challenging and engaging activities. I'm thrilled to add 2 AP chemistry classes to my day this year - it's been a dozen years since I taught that before, and it feels good to come full circle. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Fresno State University, as well as a Masters of Education in Curriculum, specializing in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. I'm an admitted Starbucks Fan, Chocoholic and Foodie - with an obvious love of cooking & eating. I've been married for 27 years. My husband, Marc and I love to travel, and have been all over the world together. We have 6 amazing grandkids whom we are very proud of and we try to spend time with them when we can. I love to make messes - I mean craft & create stuff when I have the time, and really enjoy hanging out at home with my German Shepherd Dog, Beowulf and his cat friends, Spinner the Space Cat, and Scoops.

I'm looking forward to be the facilitator of your science experience this year, whether it be the challenge of Honors Chemistry, or AP Chemistry - My goal is to help you reach yours!
